Hi Walde
I'm running in a 235 prior to putting it in my `41 Pattern 12 C60L, this is a complete rebuild including boring the cylinders, hardened valves whole new valve train, turned crank, new rods and pistons. PS my shop is not as clean as yours, in fact just after these videos were taken the oil line T on the side going to the pressure gage and oil filter broke off. Fortunately I was standing at the control panel when this black line appeared between the side of the engine and the wall of the shop. Solid stream of oil 3 quarts of oil out before I could hit the kill switch. My shop ended up with one wall covered in oil along with one work bench and my stock of steel sheets.
Working on engines when they are mounted in a CMP is such a bear that I really like to run the engines in on the test stand to get as many of the bugs out as possible. Once had to pull an engine back out of a CMP with only 20 minutes of road time because a rear main seal leaked.
