Heat cycle method
1. Heat engine to 220+ idle 10 mins
2. Let cool usually about an hour
3. Repeat 1&2 3-5x
4. Heat to 220+ and bump idle up to about 1/4 throttle. Let the rest of 1qt run through the engine on a hudy break in bench keeping the temp 200+ (heater and adjust hsn/ lsn) (Usually takes about 2 hrs)
5. Run another qt through in the car on the street with the head wrapped very rich keeping the temp 220+ continuously. (Takes about 1 hr)
6. Take to the track and tune to kill. Usually there's stil metal pinch so the idle needs to be a little higher than normal until that metal pinch is gone.
