When you first fire the engine, rev it up around 2000 rpm for 10-15 minutes. Sounds like a long time but it will be long enough to bring everything up to temp and check for leaks. Since the cam is only splash lubed from the crankshaft, this will ensure that the cam gets plenty of oil and doesn't wipe a lobe. I try to run the Rotella for about 2-300 miles then change it.
