Go figure?? ONly thing different was cleaned and flowed the injectors, not one injector would fire..put my 440's back in and fired right up. Temp shot up on me though, hope i didn't hurt it. I'll deal with that another time. SHIT!!

Today i ran it for a while purging the cooling system and it did not overheat, it behaved normally, had it idling for maybe an hour on and of changing the rpm and monitoring the temp and water level, that's right water for now after a week i will switch to coolant. So far it behaved normally, i took it for a drive and all seemes normal, my shift cable needs adjusting...It's Back!!!

You idled a new motor for an hour? :aigo:
Varied the RPM but i had to purge the cooling system maybe an hour maybe 30 mins but did vary the throttle during that time. Last night was not so nice i had to purge the cooling system. Unless you have other ideas the only way i know is to run it, not to mention the real break in will be doing 70 to 100 mph on the freeway back and forth to work. It will be fine.

glad you got it running man!
I ran it up the freeway and all seems normal so i will drive it to the prison(work) this weekend, so far it seems ok, i have not hooked up the boost controller yet so i am only boosting .5 with a stock turbo. That's fine, put 1k miles on it and then i will decide what next.

Jet: Sorry if you took offence but 7M's have very hard Cast Iron in the block and tend to glaze the bores fairly quickly.
None taken, but i totally understand your point as i am involved with break in of new cylinders on small aircraft, the rule is run it hard for the first 10 to15 hours, not mistreat the thing but run it hard at high power settings to get the temps in the cylinder walls up to break in the rings, I don't believe i did any detriment to the engine however the result would be seen in the rings and evident on the plugs, oil. Thanks though.

Get this, the company that did my injectors have taken them back for cleaning, they said if they sat around for any period of time the solution they use gums, so they are cleaning them again at no charge. Then we'll See.
