Default re-pinched nova ns3

I have a novarossi .12 engine here i have bought secondhand. it was for a fair price, and expected it not to be perfect. It would be going on a parking lot basher.

I have just come to find out it has been repinched. When asked if it had been repinched the seller said ''yes and the engine is totally modified,the specs are copied from murnan,that motor was as fast as any other modified motor out there-including murnan engines,I raced a kyosho rrr" I was unaware that it had been modded but i know buying used engines is always a crap shoot.

The pinch is VERY tight, and feels strange, (as if the P&S was dry and unoiled, which it isnt) at this point i can only assume it needs to be run-in. Are there any special instructions for breaking in a very tight P&S?
