And, is that break in method on the first page of this thread NOT the heat cycle method? If its not, I would probably like to do the heat cycle method myself, I imagine its a little easier than the method on this thread, and harder to mess up! lol The method at the beginning of the thread seems like it has a lot of moving parts, and seems there are a lot of things I could mess up! lol Anyway, thanks again. Cant wait to get it going when I get it!

The method on the first page is a heat cycle method where you are basically running the engine rich while still at operating temps (around 200 F). Then you are allowing the engine to cool to ambient temp. You do this either by timed cycles or by number of tanks. As you get more time on your engine or more tanks, you slowly lean the engine. What is described on the first page is good advice and you should read it carefully.
You can find more about breaking in your engine using a heat cycle method here:

A few tips:
Have fun with it, because I think this engine was easy to break in and runs great. The price is an added bonus.
