I was in the same situation after I finished the rebuild on mine. The guy at the automotive machine shop told me to chain it to a tree and spin the tires for a few minutes is all that was required to seat the rings. Worked for a Massey dealer back in the early 70's and had a customer get his 1130 hot and siezed the engine. We had a terrible time getting the sleeves out as they were dry sleeves. The factory told us to weld up and down in the liners to shrink them so they could be pulled out. We also had to freeze the new ones to get them in.
