breaking in a new evo 2 does it seem not to want to heat up, when i started it with factory settings it was at about 120 deg F and was running fine, of course it was flooding but i had to go in a couple turns on the hsn and the lsn to getting it up to running temp even tho it was still very rich. i was told that the motor must get to a good temp for proper breaking to take place, what are some of the temp ranges i should see when breaking in this motor, from start to finish?
Most engine tuners now recommend temps in the upwards of 200+F
