I still don't get it. You ran 3 tanks through and then it rained... You don't have to do break-in all in one sitting. You just need to continue where you left off.

Agreed. Took me 5 weeks to finally break in my Savage and yes, it runs great now.

Thats fine, as olds97 mentioned, you just need to pick up where you left off.

It's always a good idea to make sure the piston is at BDC during the cool down between break-in tanks. You should have no problems with your break-in though.

Did it hydro lock on you? Normally, you can just jank out the glow plug and pull the start a few times with the vehicle upside down. Doing this will blow out the excess fuel.

The syrup is just the oil from the fuel. During break in, this is very normal. Once you start getting the RPM's up, it will blow the oil out on it's own.

not ceased.. but rather stuck at the pinch.. at TDC.. when you stop your car.. and turn off the engine.. it is good practice.. to reach under the car.. and turn the flywheel to bottom dead center... so when the car cools.. and the sleeve cools.. it will tighten up.. and not have the piston up at the top..
