Break in cam with new Schumacher ceramic headers?

Planning on getting the 440 in the car this winter and have read I shouldn’t break in the hyd. Flat tappet with a set of new ceramic coated headers (Schumacher) installed. I have some manifolds I could bolt on but sound like a pain to break in with manifolds then remove and bolt on the Schumachers. Any advice?

can you break it in with the new headers? sure

should you break it in with the new headers? probably not.

you stand a very good chance of screwing up the finish on the new headers breaking it in with them on.
