GTB -
When getting ready to start your motor remove the glow plug, heat the crank case and oil it lightly. Once heated ( case measures 180+ ) you can prime the engine on the box for a couple of seconds. Screw your glow plug back in. Fire her up.
Take your motor to 200 + on your first tank. Don't be afraid of the needles!
Once at 200, set the idle and low needle. Dont get it on the pipe making max power. Your parts are tight mechanically and the motor is not ready for this yet. Keep running the car! If it dies, do
not let it cool back down. Fire her up and on you 3rd tank you can get the motor on the pipe a little.
Once the motor stays stable for 5 minutes and the tune and temp does not change from her loosening up, you can shut it off and let it cool. Always make sure the piston is bottom dead center and not stuck in the top.
Thermal cycle the motor 4 or five times and you are set.
It would be better if you did this in a parking lot with some old wore out tires from yur LHS.
This way you don't stress the drive line too bad while your motor is tight.
The key is to break it in at temp. Any lower and the parts are not expanded fully to thier engineered dimensions.
Hope this helps,
TEX
