Actually my concern is not getting it hot. My engine CHT's run about
290-300F in the winter and 360-380 in the summer in cruise. I'm afraid
that won't be enough to get a good seating.

Heat is NOT what seats the rings. Simple wear does it.

Keep your new cyl. cool or it'll glaze and you'll have to have it re-hatched.
