Question My break-in method is Right or Wrong?

Hello RC fan's,

I would love to have your thoughts on my Break in nitro heath cycle method. Is Wrong or Right? and Why?

It is my 1st experiente with a .21 Nitro Engine, using an Alpha Lutz a872 (specs) with original pipe, and fuel Byron 25%.
It was really hard to get the first start!! After help of 2 friends, we had to remove plug and put wd40 in it, then heath it up at 100C and make the engine turn few times. It seems no starter box was strong enough to make it spin, we used 3 different ones... But finally it did spin a bit, then I put a new plug.

Covered engine with aluminum foil heath up with hot air gun to around 100C. First tank ran about half on top of the starter box, the on the ground but barely moving.
Let it cool down to about 45C, then heath up and ran it on the ground doing 8s circles and slowly pushing it never more then 3-4 seconds. 3rd and 4th tank about the same, but i did let it cool down
5th and 6th tank no heathing, lean a bit and laped on track it was a amazing powerfull only half of throttle max temp was about 120C
