Subject: De-preservation of new M14      
      I am getting ready to turn the crank shaft for the first time on a new M14
      (Russian preservation).  Of course the mags have been de-preserved and the
      compressor also.  
      
      
      The manual then talks about removing plugs, manifold drains, etc.   It also
      mentions moving to TDC and sucking oil out of the top cylinder with a
      syringe.  Then hooking up fuel pressure to clean out the carburetor, etc.. 
      
      
      Are you guys finding it necessary to suck out the top cylinders with a
      syringe?  Seems I could pull it through with no plugs and then even spin it
      up with the air with no plugs? 
      
      
      Any thoughts appreciated.
      
      
      Thanks,
      
      Scott

Subject: Installing V530 prop      
      About to install the V530.  When I take the lifting shackle off the engine
      will it be obvious that the prop goes on the flange in a certain position?
      If not, any particular position you are installing them?
      
      
      Thanks again,
      
      Scott

      I did not move to TDC and suck any oil out.
      
      I did not clean out the carb.
      
      Made sure there was no oil or preservative in there.  Closed up
      everything and fired it up.  Of course, ran through about three tanks of
      air and a lot of hand propping, but it fired up w/ no problems within
      maybe 10 min of moving the prop for the first time.
