Steve,


What made Brian (downunder) start this thread, is [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_1850473/anchors_1850473/mpage_1/key_break%252Din%252Ctapered%252Dbore/anchor/tm.htm#1850473]this thread[/link], which I started (and a preceding thread, which I also started a year before).

And yes, Brian (fuelman, this time...) did hit the nail right on the head, as was also mentioned in my thread's subtitle.


Brian (downunder),


I do agree that some engines may not have much to gain, from sticking religiously to my thread, but would sticking with it cause any damage to them, a loss of life expectancy, performance, or reliability?
I think that you would agree, any tapered-bore two-stroke will not have anything to lose from following it.

I don't think there is anything substantially incorrect in the procedure described there.

The extra Castor oil is good, as is the bringing it up to running temperature ASAP, as are the running end testing procedures...


Do you think anyone will damage his/her new, or overhauled tapered-bore engine from following my thread?
I don't think that you do.

Will the engine be broken-in and ready to run afterward?
I believe you would agree it would.
