Need to add some heat in my enignes???
 
All right. Condensation is normal, but right now I can't get enough heat built up to boil off the water.

What are the best methods??

oil thermostat

Or just run WOT all the time...:coolcowboy:

Well that is one thing I am going to try tomorrow. I havn't been to WOT yet. Just trying to put some time on them before I go and try to hurt them.

I have an oil temp gage before cooler and after. I don't have to run that long a WOT to get the temps above 212 and then just back down and run for 20 min. maybe to boil her out. Wot I get 260*before cooler 190/ 200 after.

My guages are on the intake side, but they have never lifted off the needle and the needle starts at 140 :eek:

Water temps have not lifted yet either.

Of course the lake and air temp is pretty cool as well

I am gonna run it harder tomorrow and see if I can boil her out.

Or break it, one of the 2

Are you sure the gauges work? It shouldnt take much to get the oil temps over 140º. My water temps never move either, but that is because I dont run a thermostat and have a crossover.
