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??

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

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.
