Default RE: Ring Engine Compression

In order for the ring to seat properly the engine needs to get up to operating temperature.

Running motors blubbering rich is old school. Modern engines are built to very close tollerences and need very little break in. Too much fuel and it wont create enough friction in the sleeve to properly seat the ring.

Run it a little rich for a few flights. Raw fuel pouring out the exhaust does nothing but waste fuel and prolong the break in.
