Brief Description:  Test flights, oil relief valve.

First flight: Oil pressure started out about 40. As oil temperature rose, pressure dropped. See photos on approach and after landing.

After discussion with Bill removed oil relief valve, cleaned and lapped a little, reinstalled.

Second and third flights with Jeanne and Bill (respectively) pressure stayed up around 40 -50 in cruise and 30 on idle. Apparently there are some small particles in crankcase that find their way into the relief valve and prop it open slightly. Hope this does not continue to happen as there is no way to clear it short of removal, a real pain.

Air leakage left side much better. Left PTT loose.

Topped off fuel, took 16 gallons, EI said 14 used, will adjuct K factor acordingly.
