Just about all motors if you set the needles flush and fire it up it will be plenty rich..i just cant see why you need a video to help explain this...Not to disrespect but if you cant understand rons very very simple break-in steps i question your ability to race or tune a motor or even set it up in the car....
I've never been "nice" to my engines during break in
I typically idle a tank through it trying to keep it warm, toss it on the track and run about 3 more tanks through it leaning it out a bit each while varying the throttle as much as possible. After that, I lean that mother out and race it
They dont seem to die any sooner than others and I've never had a straight up failure. Not recommending this method, just stating how I've done it since my first nitro.
Just ordered a B6 this morning along with the Sirio 2013 pipe (I couldnt find a retailer that had the Werks pipe in stock). If I have time, I'll break in via Werks method but if not, I'm gonna do it like I stole it
