I changed out rubber -6, -4, and 5/8ths heater hose and added 2 gallons of 50/50 (Prestone/distilled water); and when running it today (32 degree OAT), I initially had zero water pressure, and it only came up to 9 psi when water temp finally reached 150 degrees.  I have zero experience with cold weather ops, so was wondering if this is normal, from your experience?  
I have a 76x88 Cato prop, and found it interesting that a WOT static run produced 5500 rpm (2.85 PSRU), at 28.6 in of MP…
