I didn't think roller cams needed to be "broken in". The only thing to worry about should be seating the rings. But I agree, if it was my engine, I wouldn't be revving it to 4500 right after the first start up.

its not a roller in his car

14.30 on slicks! scrapped due to rust!
yes I did run it for 20 min at 2k rpm, then changed the oil. before the video, the engine had ran another 2.5 hours at various rpms between 600-3000..
ya, I spent $1500 on a motor and as soon as it fired it up I started revving. A guy can source all the parts for his hybrid, build it, but then doesn't know break in procedures? please.

lol scoot, it certainly saw a much gentler break in than yours did
the fist time it was broke in on a dyno and the second time it had used pistons/rings in it but I did take it easy for the first day and a half!
