I am so embarrassed. After a 36 hour cold soak and -21 C (-5.8 F), she wouldn't start.

Made me wonder if people we sneaking in cetane boosters. I'm too mortified to post the vid.

Look at the egt's while the valve is in use.(drive it)
Compare it to a bypassed valve.

It is very clear on how the use of the EBPV helps the heads
get heat in them quick.

I need to switch it. I noticed it keeps your RPM's up also.

Smoke is from cold cylinders.
The valve helps the heads warm up quicker.

ok in this vid it was only 30*, cold soaked for about 16 hours or so. i tried to start it once and didn't have the camera b/c it was only 30* and y'all wanted more like 20*. haha. so when it wouldn't start after about 5 seconds or so of cranking i walked in and grabbed the camera and did it again and it fired quickly. lots of white smoke tho. LoL. my GPR is dead i'm pretty sure. haha
