Does the extra fuel compensate for the low temp in this regard? Thanks.
yes, your right 120 is very low for breakin, in the range of 150-165 is where you want to be, dont exceed more than 176.
Its not a case of compensating, you want to get the engine to a reasonable running temperature so all components have expanded to what they would while racing. try wrapping the cooling head with aluminium foil to reduce the cooling heads efficiency.
