    hose feels HOOOOOT! thermostat is opening and coolant is circulating?
    Ignition was really advanced.....reset to factory specs with the extra wire disconnected as per the manual. it is a new stant thermostat and I can replace it fairly easy. Engine has only run for 3 10 minute spurts, total of thirty minutes with fans on it entire time. Not ready to road test until I know everything is decent, could the lack of moderate airflow be causing issues?
    Engine oil is heavy for air temps and normal operations, could be causing problems. I will have to make some adjustments to establish a decent baseline for a good diagnosis.
