FWIW My new (1997) Lycoming O360A4M sat in my study until 2003. I ran it for about a total of 20 minutes on the ground prior to a high speed taxi test by the test pilot to confirm ground handling and brakes. thereafter my Glastar was flown by the test pilot for 1.3 hours at high power settings and landed. There are 440 TT on the engine and it uses one quart between oil changes at 35 hour intervals. I will be talking to my Lycoming rep before first flight in my 10 but in initial discussions he indicated that the ground runs should be short and should be used to "remove the set" of the fuel injection unit. I would expect no more than 30 minutes total ground run over about 6 starts.

Concur on the less than 5 min initial runs. Do you know what he meant by "remove the set" of the fuel injection unit?

He indicated that the diaphragms/seals in the injection unit would have taken a set and that the procedure was to rerun the engine at about 1700 rpm while moving the mixture from full rich to idle cutoff alternately about once every two seconds for about 5- 10 times then shutdown.
