Just built an engine, rapido 225... How long does it need to run for before I can do a leak down test? If I run it for 15 minutes on idle ? Just don't wanna blow the head gasket sealant.

I do a leak test as soon as its built , before its been run .
When i was young my Mom said "if you haven't got anything nice to say, say nothing at all " ..................... and people wonder why I'm quiet around them !
