I wouldn't do that... you want a ring coupler on both manifold and pipe


For breakin I suggest a high idle for 10 minutes, head wrapped in foil , blow heat down the center as needed ..then after 10 minutes of idling get it on the ground and start driving it.... lean it out enough that it will stay running, then gently run the truck around for as many consecutive tanks as possible...progressively getting into it more and more.. using the tinfoil wrap to regulate heat.we want it slightly hot and plenty rich......at first be as gentle as possible but the longer you run it the harder and harder you push it....These Picco's have super hard pistons and a simple idle breakin just wont do the trick, they pretty much have to be run in by load, if not a breakin can take a couple of gallons.....
