Here is close to the first startup this season. Don't mind the cover, just pulled it off the lift so the marina could adjust the bunks

Started it with 50/50 oil/diesel pressure started maxed out at 80psi and went down to 30 on warm engine, 3 changes with rotella and i am seeing 60 psi at idle. intake is welded up and it's looking like I can go boating. I have 45 gallons of water/ diesel contaminated oil if anyone has a use for it. One more change and I'll put another 12 quarts of v-twin in. Talk about a close call.

Thanks for the heads up. I have the brass lined air gap intake, gaskets must have been seeping and the water corroded the gasket surfaces to the point that a seep became a sudden flood. Incredible mess by the time I idled to a ramp.
