i just got my First Nova at the start of this year, i went on what the rep said on how to break the engine in. i did like 8 tanks on idle temp around 70 degC then i did another 8 tanks slowly leaning it out. probabley a bit excesive but i used the rod for like 3 race meets after and the Rod still hadn't streached. But mine was the 2008 3SCT - Tuned
