Rino, are you worried about water building up in your oil like that?
The Shell Oil guys giving the lecture at Sun'n'Fun were rather adamant
that this is the way to lead an engine to an early grave, letting it run
often for short periods.  Their advice was to let it run for at least 30
minutes at least once a week in order to boil of any residual water from
the combustion process.

With no fan I cannot run it much longer.  It is still inside the shop. I cannot run the prop in there.
It gets hot enough before I shut it down.
