Research refers to asking the questions/reading before he begins the break in process. Not coming here to ask once somethings already fouled up. From his posts it seems as if he's ready to have at it based on what he has learned in this thread.....Much more to nitro than what has been stated here. Just trying to give good advice based on my experience as I did the same thing and spent a miserable 2 week process trying to find answers after the fact. Ilater learned that just a few hours of research would have eliminated the need to come to a forum and ask a question after I've already screwed something up.

I probably destroyed my first engine based on this. If the OP already planned to learn more before he starts tuggin on his pullstart...then disregard. Maybe start by reading http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_5517128/tm.htm
