Hmm, why did you resurface the flywheel? I think you should get a new clutch plate too, since the new flywheel surface and the clutch may not be perpendicular anymore. Of course you will probably be fine with what you have now. Breaking in a clutch is to heat cycle the clutch plate friction material, and since its already got 2000 miles on it, I would say no need to break it in.
