Leave the white connectors on the coil packs dis-connected, turn the car over for about 5 seconds or until the oil pressure gage starts to rise. Plug the connectors back in and fire the car up, bring the RPM's up to around 2,000 RPM's for about 15 minutes while watching the oil pressure and temp gage. That will get the motor lubricated well and allow the proper breakin time.
