I personally never use an engine that is not broke in, stabilized and baselined for tests of any kind. Your engine may be fine. I dont know. Your asking a question that's impossible for me to answer unless I have the engine on the dyno and verify that the engine is indeed stable and baselined.
"Stable" Meaning that its not still gaining power every pull you make because its not finished breaking in
"Baselined" Means that every pull you make is the same or with in about 1-2%
If you can make three pulls on the dyno while maintaining stable temps between pulls and those pulls are within 1-%2% of each other I think you could say that the engine is stable and the tests will be valid. If this is indeed the case your engine is already broke in.
