Default Motor maintence on fairly built motor

I know to change the oil get valves adjusted as needed but what else.
I am runnin new piston, rods, cams, springs ,retainers yadda yadda. I just want to keep my motor in as good of and order as possible. I already had to re-ring the pistons in the first 1000 miles due to a costly mishap, just tryin to prevent stuff like that again

Don't rev the motor in VTEC until you have at least 1000 miles on the new rings and bearings - then gradually bring up the revs as the motor breaks in more.

Regular fluid changes after that. That and let the motor warm up COMPLETELY before hammering on it.
