What engine are you breaking in? With the newer engines like Nova, you may need more tanks.

You will know when you completed break in process when you take the engine heatsink off and check the inside of the piston liner. It should be polished. When you turn the flywheel, you can see that the piston can reach to the top of the sleeve with a little bit of resistance. If it's still stuck half way and you cannot turn the flywheel to crank it when the heatsink is off, the engine is still not fully broken in yet.
