Free advice, pull the Gascolator screen and check it with a magnifying glass or jewelers loop. I was shocked at how much crud in the form of fine fibers and chunks had collected on the screen. I was very careful about contamination before closeout using a tack rag and all thru the building process. Then I sloshed/rinsed the tanks over a fine filter funnel to look for residue and found only a trace amount. After flying, I started finding an accumulation mostly around the base of the screen. Apparently the stuff takes a long time to work its way to the Gascolator because I was still getting it after 100 hours. Another thing to check is clearance of the nose gear linkage from the oil pan when retracted. When the engine mounts settled in the first 50 hours, I had contact. There is an easy fix.
