Break in, well lets put it this way I always drive gentle for the first oil change and they re check the torque specs and then I roll on them. But that is just me because I am pickie on everything .Also Get new Head bolts on that car

same thing with me, I always drive gently until my oil change mileage is up and then I go back in there and re torque the headbolts. And it's always good to get new headbolts some may same else wise, But you can do whatever you.
