For others reading this, it is far more important to keep your temps under 400 or so than it is to run at 75% power. Lower power settings will allow your rings to seat, it just take longer. High temps WILL cause glazing. I speak from experience on this, having glazed a cylinder due to high temps (mine happened from 1 minute at 450*) in the first hour or two. I had major fuel distribution issues with my carb.
The first few hours is where this is most critical as most of ring seating takes place there.
