HOW the hell that would cause a headgasket failure, I have no clue. But to blame these failures on improper break-in (aside from the virgin clutch) is ridiculous and wrong.

yes, a freshly built engine DOES need to be gently broken in to ensure that everything seals properly. beating the piss out of a brand new motor WILL cause things like headgaskets as well as other gaskets and seals to fail! ask any engine builder and they will tell you the same thing.
