Here is what I did to break my car in:
1. Do not hold the engine at constant RPM's
2. Try to avoid WOT acceleration for the first few 100km's/miles
3. If it's a manual be easy on the clutch for the first few 100km's/miles
4. Take it gently up to 7000rpm or so then engine brake back down to around 4000rpm
5. After taking it above 4000rpm drive below 4000rpm for a while before reving it high again.
6. Avoid rush hour traffic if you can.
