OK, I can't avoid it much longer (Not that I've been trying that hard
)
About to fire up my O-360 for the first time since complete overhaul. New crank, jugs (Superior), most everything else overhauled or new.
The question is, since it's not been run in a test cell, and I need to do some taxi testing as well as some kind of engine run-in on the ground, any recomendations on time/RPMs/temps/etc? I do have EGT's and CHT's on all cylinders if that will make a difference.
I'm in Detroit, and we are approaching the winter months, so cooling may not be as big a concern, but I'm still shy a whole bunch of knowledge on this.
Mahlon, feel free to jump in, you owned a bunch of these parts before I did (Yes, Lori is a piece of work!)![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
