Congrats on the completing the rebuild Brotak.

My 3.2 (now 3.4) is circa 3k miles post rebuild - my mechanics advice was to limit revs to 4k for first 500, extend to 5k for next 500 - then change oil and check valve clearances.

I performed an intermediary oil/filter change at 500 using 15/40 dino oil - then changed to Motul 5/40 synth at 1000.

Cheers

Edit - was also advised to vary the revs during the first 1000 miles - ie no constant revs eg motorway/freeway runs - plenty of varied acceleration and deceleration. And no loading the engine - keep it in a low gear to keep the revs up
