It is time for first engine start. I can't put on the final skin over the electronics until I know all the engine transducers are working. I can't put in any more interior parts or covers until I know there are no leaks. So time to run the engine and see.
I drained the pickle oil out of it. I dumped a quart of mineral oil in to help flush out the pickle oil. Then I put in 8 quarts of staight mineral oil. Since it is still summer, kinda I used 100 weight.
I took a look at the plugs and more pickle oil drained out of the cylinder heads. What a mess. The bottom plugs are all full of oil. I wiped them and set them aside to drain for awhile.
