Don't baby it but don't lug the guts out of it or run it at red line 100% of the time.
Idling, putting around and low coolant temps will mesh up the ring seating. Low rpms also limit the splash lubrication on cam/followers.
Then again idling, putting around and low coolant temps will shorten the life of any engine.
Being a re-ring job rather than an overhaul or rebuild. Break-in is somewhat of a mute point.
Did you place the followers back in thier origional bores? Are the rockers arms back on their original pivits?
