talked to my machinest today and was told the rod clearance was setup at
.028. so I dont think thats the issue. I was instructed to put a good 50 wt in it and run it and it will be better so I will try it and see. If I cant get the oil temp down to 215-225 then I will have to re plumb the oil cooler to its own open water source. I think my problem may be the pressure regulator I had to install to keep the block pressure down to 18 psi. when I ran it without it was way to high and I started blowing freeze plugs out.


100 on the water is fast and no you dont have brakes you have to pick your water wisely. I have been in boats my whole life, seen many pepole die from it. saftey is my main concern so no full passes with passengers or lots of pepole on the water. when making passes I wear a life jacket that is racing approved. no second chances in life when playing with big MPH on the water...
