Manny of Manny's Transmissions helped me install my new S&J Engine. We replaced every inch of engine lube oil flow. I put in a 16 pass Derale 13700 Electra-Cool Remote Cooler to handle lube oil cooling. Because Manny is an ace with steel tubing, the lines are all new steel. I also added, at Matt Colie's suggestion, a Derale Oil Control Thermostat P/N - 15719, which recirculates engine oil until it reaches 180*. The engine started instantly thanks to EBL EFI and I ran it for 29 minutes, before the first shutdown.
The good news is that the engine sounds good and ran 170 miles to home. No oil, water, gas, or exhaust leaks.
We exhibited safe practices and believe no Corona-19 germs were allowed to pass to us or to others.
Ruth and I are about to "attend" our church's virtual service, worshiping together from afar.
Be Safe.
Best Wishes,
