    260 cooling

    Ok guys I put my 260 in the water for the first time it is not wanting to pee from the heads at a low idle it pees strong from the poppet dump at low idle ... once the Rpm is picked up both piss just fine like water hoses ... But at a slow idle is it gonna cause damage if it's not pissing from the heads ??

    ^X2^... If you have a good working temp gauge and hot horn and your temp is in a safe range I would not worry.
