turns out i did it for nothing.......its condensation and I took boat out for 4 hours today out in ocean oil temp only gets to 180 with the lazer gun i need to do oil temp gauge, i want to run 220 to burn off condensation, valve covers get a little condensation but oil looks ok, changed it once after 2 hour run yeterdat then did some more hours today, runs great about 69mph chine walks bad.
I pressure tested cooling system, it held 18psi for 1 hours.....damn condensation!!

I am new to this site,but not the engine building seen, i work for a engine machine shop. we have in our full size cauiking guns, napa ultra black rtv. we go thru at least 4 a month and never ounce had a sealing issue with it. clean dry proper mounting surfaces and a little trv in the common areas is all you need and cant stress enough proper torque of the fastner and parts putting together.

I've always heard 200+ to burn off condensation. Doesn't 212 degrees fit in the equation somewhere (boiling point of water)?
