There is a whole different oil filter that is supposed to be used during the break-in period.
Before starting an engine it should be turned over by the starter long enough to charge it with oil. For this the Glowplugs should be left out . On old regular engines one would use a ' false distributor bottom to connect to the oil pump and drive it with a big drill to charge the oil passages right before installing the distributor.
Piston rings should be coated with ' Assembly Grease" ... typically moly Di sulfide . It is called Assembly grease for a reason.. it will stay on the bearing surface long enough for oil to replace it.
