Make sure it is shimmed for the fuel %you are going to use.

hi apolaro,
i have just seen your message weirdly
the piston locks at the TDC with the glowplug. i can hear some little"blug blugs" like coming from tiny air bubbles. it is tigther than my 2 race old JLR evo3.
im going to use it with %16 fuel and im pretty sure the man who i bought the engine from used with %16 fuel
should i breakin the engine assuming that it is completely new?i use WOT method for breaking in engines
thanks for the reply
