Break in new rebuilt motor without water

I guess that I'm a little late to the show. IMO running it w/o water would allow the bores to be egg shaped. The thin side would egg and the thick side would stay put.
I understand the reasoning behind having the engine up to temperature for break in.
I think and I could be wrong.......I'd turn up my hot water heater and use the hot water to get the engine warmed up. Maybe even w/o a fan. Could use a spray of cool water to hose down the Radiator which would allow you to maintain a reasonable temperature of 200ish.
This way the bores would bee the same temperature and wont egg.
Thats how I would do it anyway.
