180 degree!!!! Good luck with your engine as normal operation temp for .21 and .28 should be around 110 and .12 a little hotter, around 120. For break in keep it around 70 to 90 degree. If your en ...

Crankshaft usually breaks during the first 2 tanks during break-in,
when the newbies are running too rich thinking it's better for the engine,
which only adds more non-compressable fuel into the engine --> compression too high --> breaking the crankshaft.
Break-in method and temperature are delicate matters,
and there are many debates on this issue.
Some people like to keep it under 100*C during break in,
but after break-in, they play at 130*C.
What happens is that it expands larger at 130*C, causing air leaks and poor performance.
I go the other way.
I heat cycle my engine up to 130*C, my normal playing temperature;
keeping the revs in all ranges but not full-throttling to reduce stress on the crankshaft.
In other words, I break-in at the temperature I play at. Makes good sense? ; )
Sorry I'm not the old school type,
which idles a new engine with 3 turns open,
spitting fuel out thinking it's better for the engine. I don't believe in this {banned} 
It's like a tennis player practicing in an air-conditioned room at 20*C for 2 months,
then go out to play in tournaments at 30+*C.
He'll just die. Same with engines.
***************** Summary ******************
The idea is to have your engine "adapt" to the conditions which you'll play at.
In my dictionary, break-in simply means "adaptation".
Afterall, that's the ultimate goal isn't it?
To have your engine run smoothly and healthily at the conditions which you'll play at?
Cheers ; )
