Alright need some help I've got twin 555ci dart packages that won't idle in gear or get warmed up.I just got the boat on 4/17 the motors only have dyno hours. I know that there are no thermostats and I've got no water temp or oil temps. I was told that was the best way to run these engines, but I would like a second opinion. They do have aluminium heads???

For how long did u run it ?????

It will take a little to warm up and i think on the waterhose u will not see oil temp and water temp for a wile !!

no i ran it hard for a while hell got up to 92 but only seen the oil needle rise slightly. I took it out two different days and the same thing

Are your gauges working ?????

Do u see a milky film on the oil fill cap ????

Could be the senders of the gauges !!

Just guessing ,,since i havent seen it !?

Ok, you are going to need crossovers so you can add a bypass and the thremostat, will never get temp correct without, as far as the idle, how much base timing ? sounds like you need to limit or lock the dist to clean the idle up with whatever cam you are running. what cam and dist are you running ?
