Jeez,
good work Chuck;
As I keep my airplane outside I know what it's like working
outside, out of small tool boxes, always seem to be missing something, no work
benches, etc. So I can really appreciate your accomplishment. I mean with
somebody like Ed, we expect it (you're down to what?? 4 hours re&re now Ed?
:-).
Seriously though, I'm glad you got it up & back home
and am interested in any damage reports.

13B RV-9
I have my RV-6
home after driving 13 hours, removing old motor, installing newly built motor,
testing and flew 4 hours home against a headwind at lower than usual throttle
for break-in. The new motor ran perfectly, no oil leaks, two minor water
seeps. Took 9 hours to R&R motor and 1 hour to tune up and
test.
It was the rear (in car) rotor that was bad, one missing apex seal and damage
to rotor visible through lower spark plug hole. I have to attend to my
day job now, I will disassemble the old motor tonight and
hopefully have something more to share then.
