You'll just need to charge it more often...(you have a good, Ni-Cd rechargable glow ignitor, right? )

i found that kind of odd myself,there is no way the RB is ready after 5 tanks,i will see if i can find the guide for the heat cycle method and post it in here

Status: offline 		so what would "Race Tuning" consist of? im a basher...but im guessing race tuning would give me the best performance and longevity of the engine. I have only ever had to break in 2 engines...the 2.5r and the 3.3. i just want to do it right.

just make sure u use about 12 tanks on the break in...and keep it rich. you want the temps at 210+ to get the proper pinch so if its rich, cover the cooling head in aluminum foil to get the temps up without leaning it.
