Maybe this will help, it's another "old-timer's" advice and it's in some of my old haynes manuals.

Drive to a low traffic area. Drive it up to 30 miles per hour and then floor it until you get to 70. Then let all the way off the throttle and with the throttle plates closed let the engine pull back to 30. Then floor it again until you get to 70. Repeat this procedure about 10 times.

It ALWAYS works for me. Although I do it immediately after cam break in, you probably don't have enough miles to have lost your magic spot yet.

Good luck!

thats a good procedure...and one of the oldest!! doing so loads the pistons with positive and negative pressure....squarely seating them to the walls
