Yes.

With the stock 4-core rad, Eheads, northwind intake, it runs cool...has no problem staying at the 185° thermostat spec.

I set the rev limiter at 5500 rpm.

Previous builder really screwed me... didn't seal the holes when using the 2-piece Vitron RMS seal, mains were out or round, rings and bearings wore out after 300 miles. But oil pressure was good at 60lbs. on mechanical gauge... mostly 20W50. He is blaming everything on oil starvation, but I found out later he lost all his experienced staff, was not doing work in-house, and the guy assembling was not experienced, and I waited a year

New shop corrected everything, documented everything, did a complete balance...all in just 1 month.
