Darren, When replacing rings, you should hone the cylinders. Then you could just run the engine for a while. You don't have to be flying it. I just think that you don't want to go full power for a while and start blowing oil by the rings. Do you have a manual for that engine? It should give you all those specifications. A compression test should tell you if they are seated or not.
