Yes I agree with you what we do is heat up the oil @ 200 degrees F then run the motor at 900 rpm for 2 hours. Then we let the motor cool all the way down to room temp then again heat up the oil to 200 degrees F and run the motor at 1200 rpm for another 2 hours. Then take to to the track pre heat the motor to about 180 F and run 2 tanks on the starter box, let it cool down and then run 2 - 3 more tanks on the track very rich never allow to go into 2nd gear. After this then we start to learn it out little by little.
