My current b6 just finished it's 10th gallon Last race it wouldn't hold it's tune so I think its done.

Rightfully so!!!!
Break in one of Clockworks Hand lapped pistons is pretty much:
Idle 2 tanks to seat the bearings ( preheat engine of course )
Race tune, slightly rich for the first few tanks. You'll know when to go full blown race tune because it will fatten up and run like crap all of a sudden. For all 3 of my Clocked engines it happened right about the 5-8 tank mark.
