    Hi, this is just my thoughts on break in and what has worked for me, just throwing this out there, to think about. On any of our 2 stroke airplane engines, all you want to do during break-in is get the ring to conform and seal as perfectly as possible to the cylinder, they all use cast iron...

    yep...this is what i use, good to a temp of 700f. it also says (Three times more oil resistant than conventional silicones) and (The best silicone for exhaust pipes, exhaust manifolds) gas will not be a problem sence or gas motors are not like the nitro ones the blow fuel out the pipe.
