Status: offline 		Hi,

I got a new irvine .53 engine. I did not run in yet. It is very very hard to turn the prop by hand. When piston is in the highest position it makes a sound too. Do you think it is normal. And do you think I should proceed with the breaking process. Can I use normal ( synto w/%10 nitro) carburant or I have to use carburant with castor oil.

Thanks for the inputs in advance.

Regards.

Zafer

I ran mine three tanks on the ground, with a rich two-stroke setting. Then i tuned the lower end and started to fly with it, still leaving the top-end a little rich. After a couple of hours flying i tuned it for max performance.

Mine never ever deadsticked! It creates a lot of power. I'm very pleased with it

Like Alex wrote, this is a sign of a tapered-bore engine in good condition.

Please read and follow this thread about the correct break-in procedure.

Always use some Castor (Ricin) oil (8%+) with this type of engine and more during the break-in.

Here's a little trick: heat up the head of the engine with a hair dryer or heat gun so the piston doesn't stick at top dead center. I did that the first time I started it and it worked great.
