Dear Ken,
I agree with Larry.
If the engine has 1000+ miles of cam "break-in" already on it and if you've returned the lifters back to their original homes (mix'n'match lifters and lifter bores is not good), then slather on some cam lube; install; replace the lifters to their correct locations and button up the engine ready to run. No further break-in should be needed.
