Running in 2,25

Any suggestions on running in my overhauled 2,25 petrol.
I did re-sleeve the cylinders, big ends and ground crank, cam bearings and
rings of course (+40 thou)

I was hoping to leave tomorrow for Knysna (600km) and use this as running
in.
Only worry is all the camping gear, wife kid's etc. putting on load over
mountain passes.
Is this a good idea, or must I rather use my Polo Classic?

Cheers
James

Take it easy, dont go above 60kmh and you should be fine, no high revving
and don't spend too long in first gear. Let it have a rest every couple of
hours.

That first gear rule is to avoid over-revving. But, depending on
gearing, a Series Land Rover can pull away at very low revs, and that
should be avoided too.
