Thanks, Sheriff41. The engine doesn't have much run-time since it was rebuilt. The shop ran it to check/set timing, fill and burp the cooling system, etc., and then I drove it about 25 miles from the shop to home at speeds varying from 0 to 45 MPH. Definitely not broken in yet! I'll pick up 5 quarts of VR1 and a new FL-1A filter next time I'm at the store and do an oil change before I pre-oil the engine. I'll have my lovely assistant (Wifey) watch the oil pressure gauge for me. It had full oil pressure when I drove it home from the shop, so I'm not expecting any problems in that regard.

Thanks for the help!
