Default Please help!Magnum 52 xls break-in?Solved!

Hello all!
Just picked up the engine in question and was reading that
the fuel the manufacturer recommends for break-in is supposed to be 80% methanol,20% oil content,(all castor),and no more than 10% nitro.
Why would they not recommend synthetic oil in the break-in?
I don't want to cook the motor!
What i have done so far:
Flushed the engine with rubbing alcohol (i saw particles in the motor)
used castor oil as lubricant as i re-assembled it.
A3 glow plug
The fuel i have is 80% methanol,20% oil (75% synthetic 25% castor) 10% nitro.
Will that be alright or am i just worrying too much?
Yes, i read the (break-in taper engines thread) and many other and i don't plan on 4 cycling it.
Any and all advice will be appreciated
Thank you,
Steve
