Alrighty then! Now we're getting somewhere!
Another question. About killing the engine to let it completely cool down, would it be OK to four stroke the engine to cool it off, and then after it is cool enough to be able to be held by the hand, run it WOT for another two minutes at the previous needle setting? Or, does it need to "completely" cool, by shutting off the engine? Seems that by four stroking it, I would still be letting it cool, but saving time instead of just sitting there dead, while cooling.

Yard dart if what you mean by that is that to cool off the engine you're not going to stop it and let it cool but rather reduce throttle and let it cool until you can touch it and ther up the revs and lean it again... you are killing the poor engine!!!!
the only way to cool it off is to stop the engine and cool it off!! the whole point of the experience is to run the engine as hot as possible to properly seat the piston/liner combo....
