For some those of us who are not as familiar about the way these engines 
operate because we are still building, do you mind putting all of that in 
terms an idiot like me can understand?
Thanks

>>>  It started and ran just perfect and very smooth. I wanted to record some 
temperatures on the 35 min. flight to Lycon in Visalia, CA. so I took off and 
left it at full power for a while, leveled at 4K ft. and saw 210 Kts. IAS and 
227 TAS. The highest CHT I saw was #2 at 402*. It was pumping 43.6 GPH all the 
EGT's and CHT's were as normal. Max EGT was 1411* at that full flow. When we 
took the compression it was three at 54/56 and three at 24/44 over 80 Lbs. Not 
good, and hearing some leakage in the exhaust. "Oh Shit" was the mechanic's 
response so I said the same and authorized the removal of the cylinders.<<<
