No break in necessary. But if you want to talk nicely to it I don't think the engine will mind.

LOL haha! don't reach for the redline just yet. let all the gaskets and sealers dry and settle. gentle driving for the first gas tank would be ideal.

The belt is rubber, not metal. No break-in required.
