The Wise Cat Named Binky

Replaced? I know.. the Goal is to get AS MUCh of my "Milkshake Oil" out as possible.
Someone suggested i Change the Oil in 500 Miles. I will do this. Valvoline Synthetic Blend MaxLife 5W-30 has been settled upon for my car. Oil Filter Was Replaced.
I wonder:
1) How long should i let my car Idle for?
2) I will be making sure my Oil is topped off.. Im also making sure Coolant is too, i know i "Add" this with the car running, into the Expansion tank. -- NO MORE SMOKE OR BUBBLES AND ALL THAT NASTY BLOWN HEAD GASKET STUFF!! YES!!
3) Someone said I should wipe the Oil Cap to get all the Remnants of the Oil out..
What im wondering is: 4) After one or two SHORT 500 Mile OCI (Oil Change intervals) including Highway Trips to heat it up and all.. Should i use a Flush, liek SeaFoam or a Motor Flush to ALL THE WAY get rid of ANY Milkshake Remnant?
Car DID have blown head Gasket.. Head i took out had crack between Cylinders 2 and 3.
Thanks for the Suggestions...
