8 hours into Phase 1 flight testing. Engine temps were pretty high to start (350-395), but have seemed to really settle down on yesterday's 1 1/2 hour flight. I've been flying at 75% & 65% power. Yesterday at 65% power, the CHT's were 325-358 degrees. I have only used 1/2 qt oil in those 8 hours.
Here's my question, when can I start using this engine as I would "normally" and consider "break-in" complete? Want to do more touch and go's and leaning without fear of hurting the engine.
