No, it won't cause any damage. Actually it's a good plan to break it in and make sure all is well before modifying the fuel system. My bet is that you'll be fine on regular fuel. The compression is just not going to be that high.

More important will be ensuring that the radiator is absolutely clean, correct and in good condition.
