Argess,

I agree with you about not over revving it unloaded. I built the stand for a couple of reasons. The first is that I'm not ready to spend the money for a car yet, and wanted something to keep me entertained. Also, since I built the motor myself, I'm hoping to find and address any major leaks prior to it going into a car. I would imagine that putting a load on the motor is more likely to expose leaks, but a few heating/cooling cycles couldn't hurt either.
