Finally brought a compression tester to the airport yesterday. 30 - 45 psi at low (maybe 100 RPM).

So, I'm definitely going to install some kind of primer.

How many hours is it going to take for apex seals to seat better?

Any recommended RPM for running in the engine? 4,500, 5,000, 5,500?

Mix extra or less oil in the gas during this?

Hoping to have right radiator installed this weekend, so I can start running at full power.
