good info. you need to run it on the box for a bit to get some temp in the motor before running it under load to prevent damage to the rod/bushing. correct? thanks for posting this, i will try this out sunday.

I will have more on or around the 11th of May. I will let you know when I have them in my hands officially so I can send you one They are pretty cool and once they catch on, they will be hard to keep in stock Then between my engine business and selling engine heaters, maybe I can quit being a sheriff and concentrate on my engine work full time

dont go full throttle until after you have completed break in, You want to keep the temps up, so If you need to get 3/4 throttle to keep the temps up, then that's where your at..just be safe and watch temps. Anything over 250 is too hot

Monty you could have pre-paid like the rest of us, and then you would be guaranteed to get one

Default Break in

I also use heat cycle but I never set it on the track until I have ran at least 5 tanks give or take on the box but, I wrap the head & use a heat gun varying the throttle @ a very rich setting to help blow the crap out never letting temps get below boiling point, temps are very important!
The reason I don't throw it down and let her rip is just that temps, temps, temps! You can't really have control on temp that way.I consider myself very experienced on this subject & have only learned from my mistakes.But, everyone has their own way and I have always left the decision to the owner of the mill with a smile on my face.
It's not my 300.00 mill
