RE: Total amount of time to break in Nitro engine
Just start the break in process. Try to heat the motor up with a heat gun or hair dryer as well before starting it. Use the flat head screwdriver to lever the flywheel from under the car where the fly wheel groove is in the chasis. Once finished with the break in, yes it will loosen the compression a little bit, but you want compression to remain as well....it just won't be soooo tight.
Good luck
