New head rings? I assume you mean new head and new piston rings, correct?
Flat tappet or not, the 22RE does require a specific cam break-in procedure. Which you could have easily found if you'd searched.

After the cam break-in, I highly recommend the "run it hard" break-in process for the rings. It's worked perfect for me.

One more thing, break-in oil. As in ZDDP. Add it to the oil, something like STP oil treatment. Or use a high ZDDP oil, something like diesel oil or oil labeled specifically as "break-in oil". And if you didn't already grease the cam lobes and rocker arms prior to initial start up, you might want to consider doing so.
