I have removed my fan, for the time being, from my TR4 engine, as I had been
told it needed to be well-balanced (actually yours truly broke a plastic
blade).
Initially, I plan to just blow air thru the radiator with a 110 volt box
fan.

I'm still trying to start it (3rd attempt) due to a possible vacuum leak.
If the motor starts I'd like to be able to run it for 20 minutes at fast
idle (no bliping).  I hope this is ok and I am not trying to break in the
cam (since I'm using the stock cam).

I'm gonna just use water as coolant and I've got the oil pressure gauge and
water temp gauge hooked up.  During unplugged spinning with starter, I get
20 psi on the oil pressure gauge.  I am ok with this.
