A good hard launch at the track will seat the rings in one pass. When we build engines for the race car they don't get driven for one mile let alone what you're considering. The engine goes together, in the car, the car goes in the trailer and the trailer goes to the track. When we get there we warm the engine lash the valves, set the clutch, top off the fuel and make a qualifying pass. In 39 years I NEVER broke one doing this.

All the leak stuff etc. will have plenty of time to manifest itself after you start street driving it and you can fix it then.
