At 7:30 am this morning, N886MJ came to life once again. I only ran her long enough for the oil temp to start rising. and did not run it above 1500 rpm. This was mainly because it was raining and I did not want to get wet and melt. I am planning on being back at the airport this afternoon after the rain stops and fine tune her in preparation for flight tomorrow. In this rebuild, I installed two new pistons, new lifters, total seal rings, new oil filter, cleaned the oil cooler and lines to the cooler and several other minor things. All gauges were reading in their normal ranges for the start up run this morning and no oil leaks as yet. I will keep all posted as I progress through the test runs and flights.
