Yes Overlord and thank you guys,
You can gravity feed water through the coils using two water bottles and fuel line to bench test the engine.
One empty one full using a short section of small line to reduce water flow the bottle will empty out at a slow enough
rate to last the entire test.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

I'd be interested to see the temperature differential between the water going in and the water coming out is ?

I used tap water, could use fridge water, the reclaim bottle did warm some the volume was enough to be noticed.
Would need a temp gun to get the variance. It's enough to do tests at home to set the needle and break in the engine
safely with the AC on without using a prop. Fun to test without the need of a prop but also allows the insurance
the flywheel is not causing undue vibrations the hole has a tad bit of over bore, I wick some CA on the bolt for a tighter
fit. If you find vibration loosen and rotate the flywheel a bit, test again to find improvement.
