Am I supposed to let the engine cool completely in between tanks to get a little heat-cycling, or can I just keep re-filling and going? I let it cool completely every time on the B6 and also have on the B5 so far, but is that necessary?
BTW, i've got about 2-2.5 gallons on the B6 and it's really starting to rip now. Consistent temps and awesome pull throughout the entire powerband. For $200 bucks, my engine is keeping up with the big boys. Very happy with the mill's performance thus far. My driving on the other hand...
Great product and support. Keep up the good work, and I'll keep buying your engines!!!
Personally I do not let the engine cool down between tanks, just run one after the other until you decide to take a break!
Thank you also for your comments on the B6! That engine will run with the best of them, we took 6th at the worlds with a stock one with a ceramic rear bearing in it so we've proven it!
