Yes I know what you're saying about the first few hours on a new engine..This is the crucial time for break-in with the friction...I've added an oil additive with ZDDP to help the lifters and cam, etc... The oil cooler is doing it's job it's a good 20-30 degrees cooler than the oil temps at any given time..
Yes, I can run the engine and get some hours on it...It runs fine and there's really no cooling problem to speak of I was just wondering why it heats up so quickly... It cools down fast into the 400-425 range as soon as you drop the RPMs...
I realize in summary the engine is new, running a touch lean, and it's on the trailer while I'm tuning it..Now it's time for the next stage from the stock configuration and that's the factory carb mods...
