As i understand it, it will take only 5-7 tanks to break in at the most.
Do you mean at bottom dead center it is 2mm below the transfer ports, i don't understand what your refering to, but to breakin, i always put at least 12 tanks through, i don't take that chance, just keep it at 200 or a little abouve and run it in that way, it's the same way i did mine, i have over a gallon on mine and still has a bit of metal pinch, so be safe with it and go 12 it will help in the long run.

I agree 100% with underway, i breakin with what i race with.
