Running in cold water without oil stat ? Oil needs to be 212 to boil it out. If not then I'd look into that chit. :-)

Before you run it again Call the builder and ask how they want to handle it !

Intake gaskets most likely This is a % bet.

Check your water psi when running also.

Other engine is fine on oil temp etc. Water psi is 20 at 5500 rpm. Also if I remove intake to reseal how long do I have to let the silicone set up before running it.?
