I've been using Total Seal Quick Seat on the last several builds with great results. Clean the bores with brake-kleen, wipe with WD-40 on a cloth, then wipe the bores dry with a lint free cloth. Apply Quick seat to the bores and they'll turn green if they're clean enough. I spread about a dime sized dot of oil on the skirts and drop em in. Get a load on the motor once it has some temperature in it to seat the rings. Done.

I may be doing it backwards, but I usually talk to Total Seal to get the recommended ring package for the application, then have Ross cut the ring grooves to Total Seal's spec.
