The key, or so I have been told by many weathered old mechanics is
to just take it easy. Top speed is not the issue, but RPM IS. On
start up you run the engine at high idle to settle the new engine initially
and check for leaks etc.

Then for the first few hundred miles keep the rpm below 2500 to 3000,
the 3500 to 4000...and so on. And just takew it easy...no dumping the clutch
etc etc etc.
