Now the painful run in has started. Went for a 400km run and the engine runs as new. For next 2k km cannot exceed 4k rpm which is fine.

Wow, congrats! What a great outcome. Notwithstanding the time without the car, you now have a practically new / much newer engine than your previous, which probably would have blown once outside of warranty.
Your post has opened up the wounds of my painfully expensive experience, which I had buried deep inside never to be thought about again. I think I need therapy lol.
Happy for you - enjoy!
