Temps between 100 and 110º C. With full tank it shall be 100ºC. When the tank is nearly empty the temp will climp to a little under 110ºC.
Ambient temp between 15 and 25ºC.
3 tank at idle speed.
The next 4 tanks with a little more throttle after each tank so you start the 7th tank at 50% speed. The last 8th tank with various RPM and no full speed runs for more than a second or so at a time.
Maybe an extra shim under the head.
This is how I do it.
