Yes, it is fine to break it in at 100d weather. Better hot weather than cold...

NO, get the engine up to running temp as quickly as possible.

Usually 220f - 280f.

Then follow the break in procedure that your manufacturer suggests...

Or break it in the way described in the forums here. If you do a search for a username of fuelman, you will find it. This is a far superior way.

I don't think he was talking about engine temp... atleast I hope he wasn't...

Yeah, just outside temp. get that engine above 190 ASAP! Search for the heat cycle method!
