ive just finished rebuildin my 18rgu and im in the process of doin the same but this is what u should do.
1. vary RPM's, not to high in the beginning and dont let it idle for to long.
2. for the first run, buy supermarket oil and a new oil filter and use that for the first 15m - 20minutes of running. then change it and the oil filter, use it for about 3 hours adn then buy your fully-synthetic high quality oil and oil filter and leave that on for good
3. in my celica repair manual, it says for running in a motor; | Quote: |
drive the vehicle to a area with minimum traffic and nail it from 30mph to 50mph, then allow it to slow to 30mph again. repeat the the process 10 - 12 times.
|
it also says by doing this,
| Quote: |
this will load the piston rings and cause them to seat properly against the cylider walls
|
it also says, | Quote: |
after 2000 miles, change the oil and filter and consider the engine fully broken in
|
and fully sik  to nail it 
hope it helps anyway
