Hi Bob,
>From Mattituck's (your engine manufacturer) TMX FAQ:
http://www.mattituck.com/tmxfaq.htm
In the section "Do I need extra test cell run time on my new TMX experimental
engine to prevent cylinder glazing during my ground testing phase?":
"If the CHT goes above 350*F or the oil temp goes above 180*F at any point
during the 10 minute max duration ground run, or at the expiration of the ten
minute time limit, that run should be terminated."
It's a very exciting time when you hit that starter and the engine fires for
the first time!
Good luck,
/\/elson

| Subject: | Stiff slider on RV9 |
I am having difficulty with the canopy on my 9A. What happens is that it is essentially
impossible to start it sliding from the closed position.
I thought it was the rear pin blocks that were binding, but it does the same thing
with them completely removed.
If I am inside, I can get it started by slightly pushing up on the rear. From the
outside, the only way is to pull up on the rear. Since the canopy rear skirts
are not yet installed that is now
possible, but when they are installed it will be impossible. Once I get it to move
about 1/2 - 1 inch, then it moves back easily.
I have checked everything I can think of and everything seems to be spot on, but
I am obviously missing something.
Has anyone run into this problem? Does anyone have suggestions as to what I should
look for?

Perhaps the angle of the rear slider Tee rail is too severe requiring the slider
block to move too vertical from the closed position. My 6A has a little bit
of the problem. I apply Boelube to the rail occasionally to ease the sticking.
