Not an expert, but I believe that cold is a problem as it prevents the engine getting up to desired temps. If you are going to try, pre heat the engine with a hair dryer to at least 150 f. Wrap the heat sink in tin foil while running to keep it warm.
Read the suggested break in procedure as recommended on this site. It is different than in the manual, so you will have to decide which to use. Search " break in"
