As far as break-in goes I'd go with the disk that comes with your new engine or turn to who YOU trust to help advise you. Ask the top guys how they broke in their engines and model what you do from that. Everybody will say something different when you ask that question and most will advise you well. There are different methods and most don't do much harm even when not done "perfect". But start with the guys you see at your track in the A-main every week that run the engine you want to get. TALK to them bro. Who knows, you might make a new friend along the way.

yeah i hear yah.... this makes me feel better about the engine, and price
im going to go read that right now, thanks!

and in a 30 min main it stays the same the hole time.
just like other motors seal the carb and its fine.
we use racer's choice air seal.
and break in do it the way mike S said,do not do the full throttle way.it here somewhere back a couple of pages.
got a link to the sealer? and what else should i seal? with out taking major parts off, lol i dont like doing that yet...... re building engines isnt bad, i just dont like going that deep into something that expensive
and i would never do it that way, 1 because i dont even have the break in stand, and 2... doesnt sound like a good way, keeping something revving that long..IMO
thanks guys for the help!
