engine break in

[bigredz71]

Should you use a certain plug for break in and a different one after? or just use the one recommended?

thanks

Use the stock plug and the recommended fuel, and take your time doing it by the letter.

If your engine doesn't come with a plug, try to go for McCoy or OS plugs, unless one is recommended. (I say this because my Picco didn't come with a plug, just throwing it out there)

Thanks , can an engine be broken in with 30%?

I believe it should be broken in with fuel you plan to use on a regular basis.

i think you can, my engine is an o.s. and they say it can be done but its the maximum % you can use for break-in...maybe you could go with 20-25% for break-in then use your 30% after, as long as you stay with the same fuel brand i.e. blue thunder,morgan fuel etc. in my opinon it would be better for your engine because the lubricating properties of a lower % of nitro are a bit better i think. you really dont want your engine to lack lubrication while breaking-in, with 30% i would run it just a little richer than what i would normally do
