A newly manufactured engine has a lot of 'machine' edges and surfaces
that don't quite fit right.  As a matter of fact, a new engine uses
more oil than after it is properly broken in, usually.  Rings
don't seem to always seat until a few hundred miles, and there are also
probably a lot of other cases where the parts 'wear to fit' and are
actually better after a short 'run in'.
