OK, but just don't baby it - you gotta seat the rings and you can't do that properly babying it. You should check out how engine builders break in engines and seat the rings. It involves moderate and then WOT pulls from low rpm to 75% of the engine redline followed by engine braking, a few times each. You need pressure and heat in the cylinders to seat the rings properly. Needs to be done early in the engine's life.
