Sorry for the flyer,
but, I still say that for what your doing a commercial WB would be the
answer.
Gads, I answer you honestly, and you give me flack.
And the more you expound on things the more I reply in civil tone, get a
commercial one.  35 secs on the bottle is a serious damned motor, blowin an
engine at B'ville, and the inherit danger in doing that is nothing to take
lightly.
BTW, you make the 2nd person that I've recommended not using the DIY-WB too.
I'm probably alot less a legend in my own mind, then many folks around.
I really find it odd that you start out with a sarcastic tone, and then when
someone answers back in a similiar tone, you take offense.
BTW, no Karma was injured in this reply.
Bruce
