An excellent option is to use Red Line break-in engine additive.   I 
visited Red Line Oil back in December (their factory is right down the road from 
me) and spoke with their engineers.   They suggested a half-bottle of their 
additive with a typical 8-10 quart oil system.

They stressed that it's only necessary for solid-lifter engines.   It can't 
*hurt* on something else, but you don't really *need* it except for solid 
lifters.   I threw a half-bottle in my solid-lifter 427 Cobra motor, just in 
case.
