Break in procedure?

Break in procedure?
I replaced the block, a head, three pistons, cam bearings, main bearings, and rod bearings. I got some 15w-40 diesel oil as I saw recommended on this forum for break in. I will then change to oil to normal after 500 miles. Does this sound good? I will also pull the fuel pump fuse and crank so I can prime the oil pump. When I get it started what do I have to do? Anything special to seat the rings? I read something about having it at high rpm for a certain amount of time, and some kind of differed driving style, but i'm not sure.
The fuel in the car is about 5 years old. I will empty the fuel tank and put fresh fuel in, but will it be a problem that there is bad fuel still in the fuel lines?
