Heat cycling the engines. They sound very good. So far everything is going great no issues at the moment.

looking good. Was that the first-time running for those engines?

Yes they are brand new with billet Pistons,balanced cranks, brass head buttons and blue printed intakes by Scott Bouchie. I just heat cycle the engines on the stand 2-3 times let them get to temperature then shut them off wait until there completely cool down and repeat the same process. Check needles and ensure everything is working properly then head to the pond for break in.
I do this with every boat that I put brand new engines on.

Very cool boat Julian.

The pressure lines bother me, please put 90 degree pressure fittings on before running it!

Dave I have run it the way it is and with the 90 degree fittings. Either way I always zip tie the water lines and pressure lines. I have ran them in twins and single engine applications either way with success. Once I find some 90 degree fittings I'll change them but for now I'll use them as they are but always ensure they don't come off.

Nice looking boat Julian, how do you like using those Sullivan blue/gold nylon rods? I've been thinking about trying them in my next build as opposed to using 2-56 or 4-40 rods.

Post some videos when you get her in the water.
