Absoluetely, lean it until it breaks 200! 140 is way way to rich and you are damageing the engine by not allowing the piston and sleeve to match eachother at their proper diameters.

Here is another great extensive link for the heat cycling method; it is written by a fellow HPI fan:

wow....140 is absolutely too cold for a nitro engine, i would stay 190-230 breaking in an engine and then tune to performance after 12+ tanks of fuel
