Eric, I just picked up a new XZ-B Speed, and I'm about to break it in. This will be the first motor I've had to break in from "fresh out of the box".

Before starting, I'll be cycling it with the heater. In some previous posts you said "On my new engines, before starting, I will heat cycle the engine 3 times, bring it up to 180-200 and let it cool, repeat 2 more times."

Question on that...do you have the piston at BDC, TDC, somewhere in between, or have you found that position doesn't matter at all?

Thanks....
