Ed,
What type of heat gun are you using and what are you using to power it?
I would like to try this method on a new engine and see what the outcome is.
I know there are several ways to heat up an engine but I do not have any electrical sources at my field. I do have a small hobby torch but I am not sure that is what I want to use to heat up the engine.
I know tire warmers are available for R/C cars, so maybe I will look into that as a way to heat up the motor.

I break-in my engines at the house where I can plug in a heat gun for shrinkng covering. I'd be very careful using any type of torch as you can over-heat too isolated of an area if you're not real careful. Could use a trick I use in very cold weather; place the engine close to your car's tailpipe and let the running car engine warm it up.
