Finally got the engine back together and made the weekend race. Car performed really well. Its a Flying Toilet system and works well. The motor is a 470 Buick 12.6:1. This weekend the temps were in the 70's, starting temp on the motor was around 140* it gained temp at the end of the pass like it should. I lean it out on the return and by the time im back in the pit I'm 180+ and oil is around 140+. Plugs look pretty good and clean. Is this a pretty normal temp rise? The motor is at 36* timing, should it have more timing or more fuel also. I never had it build this kind of heat before. Prior to this it was 10.3:1 motor never ran the fan ever only the pump. Just wondering if I need to change something.
Thanks Rick
