I got an engine I need to break in, but it has been pretty cold lately, what is the minimum temperature?

doesn't say exact, but states that at 45° it may only heat up to 160-180° and how to acheive warmer temps.

Warm it up with a hair dryer and make sure she stays running hot enough for break in.
