Hi,
I've just started to break in my T-15 engine using the heat cycling method...what sorta temps should I be getting whilst doing this? Thanks
 
Depends how far you are into it. When breaking an engine in, it's best to get the engine to 200 asap to avoid premature wear. Running it too rich will not allow heat to build up.

I usually hit the 200 mark by the 3rd tank or so and try to keep it around there through tank 8, then I start to lean it some.
 
www.fantomracing.com dl an engine manual from there. it explains what you should do and what temps to run. they say keep it between 220 and 260.
the manual is very detailed and has 25+ pages. go check it out
