Default RE: Tower 75 Running in.

Refrain from turning the engine by hand....dry. Do not flip the engine over with a prop, dry.
Open the exhaust and drip a few drops of oil into the back of the cylinder wall. Run the piston
up a bit and put a few drops of oil on the side of the piston, so that it in turn will get some oil
on that side of the cylinder wall.

The hair dryer will help put some heat in the engine, although not as good as a heat gun.

The engine is rated at 17,000 RPM....you will be turning it at right about 15,000 with the 11-7
prop, so you don't need to worry.

FBD.
