I got up to 55 lbs. oil pressure, at 325 rpm cranking speed....one plug removed from each cylinder. I could stand outside the plane and crank it...no prop installed, and no ignition hooked up yet, but I'm working on it. I was happy to see oil coming down over the valve springs, and collecting inside the covers. Now I can remove them and install the stock covers, assured that the oil is getting to the last place in the line as far as oil delivery goes. Work on the ignition system continues, after making brackets to hold the controllers and sensors. I can do part of the wiring, but need to ask a couple of questions before I can finish the installation, so that'll postpone any fire-up until Monday....with the prop on, of course.
