You may be right on the uphill bit but the essence is hard acceleration followed by hard engine braking, but only when the engine is fully warmed up.

On a secondary note, if you test as per the manufacturers recommendation then they've no comeback at a later date if something did go wrong

Changed the short-block for a start
I'd expect them to have taken it out for a drive to confirm the repair but specifics as to RPM and the like will essentially be up to them

The ring pacakge and bore material on the F20C isn't the usual fare. I'd strongly suggest following Honda's recommendation (as AE has approximiated). With the F20C you tend to not lose out on seal, as much as oil control if you do it carelessly.
