Hi Bobby,

The oil temp got up to about 156 F and the water 182 F.  I ran it again
Wednesday and got the water up to 200 F.  It seemed to stabilize at that
level while running up to 2500-3000 rpm or so.  Oil temps were a
little lower.  Water temp is coming out of the block and oil after the
oil cooler.  I will have an hour on the engine next time I run it, and
will then do some sustained tests up to 4500.

The little silver thing on the side near the front is a fuel cooler.  I
think so far it functions as a fuel heater by absorbing heat from the
exhaust system.  I have thermocouples on the input and output, and both
always read the same value.  Shielding and ducting still needs to be
built.  Another set of measurements I want to make is the cooling temp
into the block and the oil temp out.

Bob W.
