I just dont like the idea of turning it over on the box to make it easier to break it. Seems to me like it would wear the sleeve prematurely with little lubrication. Weather its argus, alpha or go, these engines always seem like it takes about a gallon and a half to fully break in. Ive seen them break in fully on the track and they fatten up around a full turn on the top. I would rather take the time to break in in fully to avoid this durring a 30 min main.
