Brief Description: First Flight on Rebuilt Engine

I made the first flight on the new engine today. Ran it nearly WOT for a full hour. Overall the performance is DEFINITELY better than before the build. I was running full rich and all the temps were wonderfully in the green. Some metrics: WOT, level flight = 3,100-3,150 rpm - 108kts #1 EGT 1200 CHT 380 #2 EGT 1125 CHT 340 #3 EGT 1175 CHT 360 #4 EGT 1125 CHT 320 It climbed out much better on take off and performed very well.
