Allow me to
speculate:
I suggest that watertemps above
210 are out of bounds. Thus it should be looked at as something you got away
with, not a number to look for in normal operation. I would retorque the
stack cold if I had seen those numbers. (235)
Here is some dyno stuff for a
12A bridgeported engine with two 36MM chokes in a Weber
carb.
6500 RPM (because there is no
point in testing a racing engine below that), and even then it is to put up
a starting point for a curve.
Torque 139.6 foot
pounds.
HP 173.3
EGTs 1515 front 1491
rear
BSFC .666 (the devils
own)
oil temp 162 (160 is ideal)
Above 160 costs power due to rotor face temperatures.
Oil pressure 99.9 (relief
set at 110 pounds)
Water temp is always 180
controlled by the cooling system on the dyno.
Air/fuel 12.3
(slightly rich is fine as it helps cooling and sealing)
I would expect to get as much as
10% more power from a 13B.

Interesting questions: Is that
data at full throttle?
You can hold cruise RPM at an
A/F of 15?
Today I ran the engine .9 hour,
.7th's static at 4700 rpm - 13B, Marcotte 2 - l
redrive
I will have to pull the cowling
in the morning and check the redrive, it appears the seal is leaking on the
flywheel side. With no support from Marcotte, I may have too much 80w
in the gearbox. I believe that the temperatures look good for
flight.
