This topic really should be posted under "Panhead"... but anyway:
Hastings rings do not "run in".
They are made accurately enough to seat instantly.
If torqueplates were not applied when the cylinders were hone-fitted, then your 'run in' period will be however long it takes for the piston skirts to collapse.

You sure do tell it like it is. No way to dispute that or your knowledge of such things.
