Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jun 2023 Posts: 143 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2023 Posts: 143 | My 1954, 235 sitting in a 1950 3100 with new mounts and installed per the manual sits about 4 degrees to the rear. Do I need to allow for this when mounting in a run test stand ? Seems this may have something to do with oiling, or can I install it level for break-in and or testing. I need to test 2, 235 engines I recently purchased. I will start with the article for bringing a dead engine back to life.
Thanks Red
