The tessmann method IMO is the best way to break in, I have yet to try ebis/oil bath motors but ive tried just about every other and it seems they all sacrifice longevity to get the motor ready to race sooner. cant say ive ever idled more than a tank on the box though
The manual page in my link seems pretty straight forward to me. A far cry from 32,000rpm too. At no point do they say to idle for any period. They say to run an oily fuel. And run the engine slow
in the car at first and gradually lean it out and increase rpm. That’s about as straightforward as it gets. These engines don’t need to be babied for 2 gallons. Run 2-3 tanks with oily fuel and at operating temp, and go race. Forget the EBIS, forget the idling on the box. Run the damn thing for crying out loud. It’s not a china doll!
