Not to start anything here but how hot do you need to heat the motor before start? I dought the heat gun can heat the motor up to 200* evenly keeping in mind that the heat is being applied from the outside in so the temp inside the p/s is propbably not near 200*. And 200* is atleast the temp you need if your trying to prevent any premature wear... that's the temp the metals need to start to expand. right?

Just thinking out loud.
