RE: How important is the break in procedure?

Yeah, Hugh.

Just think of it, if the tube-stock brass sleeves of Magnum engines, would need to be heated, as decribed [link=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annealing_(metallurgy)]here[/link].
The sleeve would have to be heated to a glow... Can you imagine that in a glow engine, where the metal temperatures seldom exceed 300°F (176°C)..?

Maybe that's the source of the term 'Glow Engine'...
