It says that because of the unique CRF technology you only need to run it in for 2-4 tanks. Do i still need to heat it before starting?
I would always recommend to pre-heat an engine before starting it up. Be it CRF, Picco or Novarossi. It helps the rod maintain its life since your reducing the stresses created on it.
