You have described the more traditional method of engine break-in...

however... when its time to start leaning the engine don't do the "one full turn till i get the revs were i want them then richen it by 1/4 of a turn (outwards) then run for another 1-2 tanks"

Do this instead...

Gradually lean the engine during the break-in by turning the HSN 1/12 of a turn.. (think hours on a clock) at a time... 1 hour per tank... ensure there is plenty of smoke still.. once you have done 8 tanks.. you should then start to hear the engine's sound change...

For the LSN you should keep it rich during your run-in..... and once you have completed the break-in then start to think about your race tuning..
