engine needs to be broken in??

i have a question guys, I reinstalled all new gauskets in my engine, also put on edelbrock heads, they had about 100 miles on it. also, i bought new push rocks and rocker bolts.

- i broke in my cam and bottom end a year ago and bearly drove the car, i broke it in with zink and the 20 min rpm thing.

- i am NOT changing my cam, but i did get new heads, pushrods ( there harden steal a little bit longer.)


so should i put lube on my old rockers? and use a zink additive and run it for 20 mins at 2500rpm?????? or no need because the cam is already broken in... please get back to me asap, im starting the car tomorrow.

Assembly lube on the rockers is a good idea.
