hi
the temps used in the old school method are not hot enough for the sleeve to expand,,,.. so when you think its time to tune...you lean out the needles, thus enabling the sleeve to expand for the first time....while your running at full open throttle...this method gently introduces the engine to what its gonna be exposed to when fully tuned....hope this helps

SO...this is your 1st tank at an average of 185f....just enough for the sleeve to expand
then what do you do..?..im intrested in your method....
thanks for this video man.....i think its great.

@adb140275, they were NOT broken in wrong. That is waaay to hot to break in a new engine.... tell me, what happens to steel when its put in an oven for hours at a temperture of over 3000 degrees? Melts, softens the steel, Exact same thing going on here.

@brio76mars I think so, that is pretty hard to say. I may have donated it to a kid who lost his stuff in a fire. I bought five pretty close together and it is really hard to keep them straight.

I think I ran four or five tanks through it. This engine had a lot of pinch, rather get it past the super tight time here where I can watch it closely. Ask ten guys and get ten different answers...

@mxpro024 I thought I replied, but apparently the site did not take it. I had 7 XLs and 2 X Savages at one time. I am down to four XLs and one X now. The LRP 30 is fine and doing a great job. The kids love running it.

@Restaurant25 Are you talking 230 degrees C by chance? I agree that 440 plus degrees fahrenheit would be too hot. to run an engine.

@Restaurant25 I do not get where you think this is too hot, a Picco 28 will normally run in the 250 to 270 range, unless you are talking Celsius temperature scale, then I agree that 518 degrees Fahrenheit would be too hot.
