The best start would be to read this thread:

There's some good advice, links, and video to get you started. If you don't already have one, get a temp gun, temperature is key.

what glow plugs should i buy as spares???

wht do i need and whoat do i need to do for after run maintenance of the rc?

most people use after run oil, but I have found that a little squirt of WD-40 into the engine, and also in the carb helps. Glow plugs.... Here is a thread on glow plugs...

thanx for the reply. ...so ur saying instead of buying after run oil....i can use WD-40 to spray in the engine and carb??? that would do the trick.

Is air filter oil a necessity?

Also which break in procedure is the best......5 tanks one..( which i believe is the old school) or the heat one, that wht its called i think!

and if any1 had a look at the rc i bought...can you tell me according to the engine wht glow plugs i should buy.....using 30% nitro.

I have a question on Heat Breaking. From wot i read is that when u take the rc outta box, u bring the temp up to 200F. Now how do u do that? should i run the run in circles until i reach that temp or let the rc idle up till i reach 200F?
