Break in like it was new. Keep running break in tanks through it until you feel mechanical pinch go away. There is no magic formula. My Nova took 3 tanks to be ready for race tune and my B5 took 12 tanks before the pinch was gone. Its all according to how tight Lance pinched it. Make sure you heat it good to save the rod and keep running break in tanks until you feel it loosen up.
