I also had coolant issues with my first engine, the one where the coolant=

passages were rusted solid. I must have run it 20 times with a couple hours=

total run time before I finally melted the coolant o-rings. The other times=

I turned it off shortly after the coolant started to spew out. temps never=

rose because the coolant was not circulating.
 Those irons were all toast - because of the rust. Otherwise they were fine=

There is some mild scorching on the rotor housings, but it comes off with=

some elbow grease. rotors are also scorched but not blued.
 I got new irons, had them ported, and am about to put it all back together=

with the original everything else.
