ok, so does this sound right for heat cycling break in?

MM, do you agree with this?

here is what i plan to do:

slightly richen mixture

run engine for 3min at slow speed and let fully cool down with piston on bottom of case. repeat this until 15min of run time has passed.

run engine for 4min at slow to medium speed and let fully cool down with piston on bottom of case. repeat this until 25min of run time has passed.

then onto track tuning and just leaning it out slowly bit by bit and if the engine hesitates turn back needle 1/4 and continue leaning until it runs good.
