I agree, we can heat the oil prior or make our own inline heater. 3450rpm should be plenty. I would worry more about how dirty the oil is over speed of the bowl. The dirtier it is the more cycles it will need to be fed through.

At the worst, we could meet up and talk it over at Findlay in May. I have a pneumatic pump hooked to fliters we can use worst case scenario.

We(not saying I will participate) could build it on a M101 chassis so anyone could transport. I may have a 101 I(we) could use.
