Break in procedure for Nitro Engine


A good break in procedure is always a treasured knowledge for taking care of a Nitro Engine. The “heat cycling” is one of the kind that is good for breaking in. Start the engine and let it idle, after one or two minutes feel the cylinder head. It should be hot enough that you are not able to hold it for more than 10 seconds. Stop the engine and make sure that piston is at the bottom of the stroke. Let it cool down completely. It should be stone cold. Repeat the procedure several times, may be 10-12 timely. It might look like tiring procedure but one needs to have patience. This procedure is usually dedicated to first tank of fuel.

Now take it out and run it. Open the main needle one full turn. The nest four tanks should not run more than half throttle the speed should be varied up and down. Let it also cool down completely but every time one has to ensure that piston is at the bottom of the stroke at the time of cooling. It would be a good idea if the engine runs at 200 degree range during this period.

Next would be four more tanks running up to three-fourth throttle but the manner should be same as stated earlier. After this you one can go wide open and go in for another six tanks. These engines run best at 220 to 240 degrees plus a visible line of smoke should always be coming from the exhaust stinger.

If one has patience and take time for break in procedure then one is rewarded with engine that is stronger and runs longer than others put together.

Some thing should be kept in mind while doing the break-in especially with the heat method. It would not be advisable to start the engine with the electric starter. Before starting up the engine a nice suggestion would be to cover up the cooling head with something so the engine heats up properly. This is because without the cover the engine may remain cold. Then start the engine and let it run rich at full throttle for 2-tanks at a temperature of eighty degrees Centigrade. Then two more engines to run at ninety and one more at hundred degrees.

After this the engine is almost run-in but you shall need to finish the run-in with two more tanks after this. After such a patient procedure the car would be ready to run.

For starting a break-in read all the information available. Information never hurts, on the contrary it might help. Further, be very patient with the whole procedure of break-in. Start breaking-in patiently. Many people recommend using 10-20% nitro for breaking –in and to stick with the same fuel for the life of the engine. There fore special break-in fuel might not be really necessary.
