Ronin brings up a very good point; remove your filters after a short run. Lots and lots of questionable material in there; swarf, heavy molys, etc. that need to be removed from the system. Case in point: I just pushed a chunk of carbon out of the Rside of a drain pipe on a '51 Triumph T100 engine that was preventing the exhaust rocker box from draining oil. It took me ONE YEAR to figure out why the exhust pipe on that side was oiling up but the 'plug looked perfect.
Cycling the engine is also a very good idea. These next 200 miles are critical in terms of seating your 'rings. You want those ring edges to never get totally comfortable, they ought to be jerked a bit around, deceleration on downhills, this sort of thing can help.
Timing is a breeze, but I get scared at the 6K rev. I must say.
