Breaking in an engine without it being under a load will cause excessive wear (I know, this can be debated). I hope you're just refering to the oil being dark that is coming from you pipe, it should be some what darker, but not black. Too much fiction, especially on aluminum parts, without proper lubrication will cause the parts to wear much quicker which is evident by the darker oil.
