I have a Coyote but this is basically what I followed. I think city driving with constant rpm changes helps too. I burn about 1qt or less per 6K miles now with 22K on the clock. Falls in line with my Previous Gen 1 coyote which I broke in the same way.Running it up to redline early on is not good. For the first 500 miles, you should avoid going over 4k rpms. You definitely want to coast down in gear. The engine braking vacuum is what seats the rings more than anything else.
Then from 500-1k miles, I avoided going over 6k rpms. After 1,100 miles, it was all out.
Obsessive maybe, disciplined extremely. But at 17K miles now, I never have to add oil between my yearly oil changes. The only oil I lose is the 2-3 ozs my oil seperator filters out.And I consistently drive in the 7k-8k rpm range now.
Break in the engine correctly, and barring any inherent mechanical defects, your engine will last and perform as it should.
