proper way to break in an engine
i know there are a bunch of people that have there own ways of breaking in engines and i wanted to know how you guys did it and how well it worked. i'm getting a new savage soon so i don't to screw up ANOTHER engine so i decided i would ask here. i want to know which way works best and if it gave that engine a lot of power?

Definatley heat cycling. Cover the head and drive it for 3 mins, then stop and return piston to BDC and let it cool completely. Do this for about 5-7 tanks and get temps to 200 degrees if poss. Then start tuning and your away

Take the Glow Plug out and Look in the Hole with A light,Spin the Flywheel till its at the Bottom,
Or Just Spin the flywheel by Hand and When it feels Free it's Close to BDC....
