Good luck. Lynn E. Hanover ----------------- Thanks for the tips Lynn. I'll probably take your advice on spinning the engine up with the starter first. That will pump some oil to fill the coolers, so I can top off the sump again. It may also move a little water, and perhaps the largest air pockets will appear so I can refill before cranking. The target date is Sunday, and I'll let everyone know how it goes. I'm also thinking of setting up my video camera to record the event, if I can see the plane though the smoke cloud :-) Rusty
