Guys...thx for the remarks. The engine runs perfect with 50 psi when start up and then goes down to about 30-35 psi. Makes no strange noises except that great flathead purr !!

I have 160º thermostats in it and after I ran it when I put then in I checked the water temp and it was dead nuts 160º !

When I do change the oil I usually take a 15 minute ride to warm it up.

Thanks again for the comments and I'm inclined to leave it alone !!

Mike
