...If'n I had me a car engine, I'd want to put it on a test stand with a itty-bitty prop and break it in with a few short runs and heat/cool cycles. But I guess that is not really practical, what with no prop driver and all that. So whatcha gonna do?
MJD,
That is not right either. Any cold-cycling is not good for a 'pinchy' ABC engine.
For such an engine, [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/Tapered%2DBore_Engine_Break%2Din_%2D_Upgraded/m_1850473/tm.htm]THIS[/link] is what you want. You see it right here on RCU.
Actually yeah you are quite right, I went into auto-response mode. If it is that pinchy then for sure some better bedside manner is needed. Mostly I meant to say I'd rather put a prop on it and bench run it WFO.
