Default New engine start-up

Hi Guys/Gals,

Just bought me a new engine... what should i do for start-up i've read a few bits an pieces here an there regarding break-in an what not... so far i got the following sequnce dialed in...

1) Warm with heat gun / hairdryer till warm...
2) Put some 3-in-1 to loosen up parts an give some lube
3) Start-up run one tank at slow idle
4) Run 2 more tanks slowly not more than 1/4 throttle
5)Run 2 tanks 1/2 throttle
6) Run 2 tanks with short bursts of full throttle
7) Start tuning...

so what you think good idea or not... another question i got is about after-run oil... would 3-in-1 be a good substitute, from my many years in paintball an mountain biking, 3-in-1 is a miracle solution to most but the most serious problems
