OK so reconditioned cylinder walls and new oversize pistons and rings.
You want to create plenty of combustion gas pressure to strongly force the rings into the walls. Don't let it idle, especially at the beginning.

What kind of valve cover gasket? Are the shoulderd studs completely bottomed out in the threaded holes? Usually have to double-nut them to get them all the way in, otherwise they stand too tall and don't allow sufficient gasket compression.
