I was breaking in mine the other day it was about 46*F. Take a ~1 1/2" wide strip of tin foil and wrap it around the top of the cooling head. Then get the temps to 200-215*F.

first off welcome to the forum, secondly as larsenracing suggested its fine to do break in at those temps as long as you get the engine temps high enough....
