	Quote originally posted by The_Mad_Warrior LMAO I love these type of threads. Everyone has different theories. Holding it WOT to check the compression? I never did that? And my readings were 120 PSI in my MXZ. So if I hold it open I will get what? 140 PSI? Or would it go down? Anyways. I heard that: Use mineroil oil after engine rebuild to break your rings in. Never hold the throttle open for very long during break in. Mix your first 3 tanks of gas 50:1. Give it shots of gas to break the engine in becuase then it will run btter after the rings are broken in. And thats all I heard. :D Im not sure. I think it depends on your tester.

	why is it so hard to just hold the throttle wide open? just zip tie the throttle down while testing, that is like a 5 second process, even if it doesn't make a difference, its not like that 5 seconds ruined your life.

	That or velcro strips, those are reusable.. They are also handy for holding wiring bundles together, and innumerable other things as well. And it's about $11.00 for a 15 foot roll (shipping included), I keep several around, and cut off a piece when I need it. http://cgi.ebay.com/15-roll-Panduit-Ty-T...334671f8b3 Quote originally posted by The_Mad_Warrior Holding it WOT to check the compression?

What a truly ignorant question.. 95 - Storm 800 - Modded - AKA: FrankenStorm - Totalled near 100mph at Tug Hill! 96 - XLT/SP with Storm 800 trip/trip and now EFI - FrankenStorm II lives... 95 - RXL -- Sale Pending -- 05 - Edge 800 long track - Stayin' stock for now.. --------------------------------------------- It made me more compassionate, more empathetic, more nurturing...
