Just wanted to do an update for now. The last 3 days I did they same engine running as for time and speeds and the next morning checked the water level in the radiator. It stopped going down and stayed at 1 5/8 inches below the radiator cap seal also had no water in the oil when checking the drain plug.

At this time I have decided to put the engine back in the car so I can drive it and put it under load. This will take me a while to do and get everything back on the engine so it will run and drive. Again Thanks to everyone for all your help. Hope my next update will have good news with no water loss.
