The dealership said there was no break-in service, but I failed to ask about a break-in period as far as speed, etc. Thanks!

Drive the new engine gently until it is fully warmed up, and give it about 1K miles before you drive it like you stole it.
I did not follow my own advice, and had a replacement motor self-destruct at 500 miles.
