Idling is the worst thing you can do to a new engine. I would never let an engine run as you described. It's a sure recipe for high oil consumption and poor performance.

I wouldn't do that to bed in the brakes. There are any number of good websites that describe how to break-in your brakes. Try Stoptech's site, they've got a pretty good explanation of how and why, and they do nothing but brakes, they are one of the true experts.

I've taken apart engines broken in Motoman's way, and they are always better. That's why I do it pretty much his way and have been for a very long time.
