Finally after months of down time, N31VP, had another first flight today.  I=
 put around 1.75 hours on it at high power full rich to break in the new eng=
ine that Barrett Performance folks sent me back a couple of months ago. =20

Thanks to all who gave advice especially about oil coming out of the turbos.=
  As it turns out, the issue must have been oil drifting around the system d=
uring overhaul and seeping out when static and when running at low power for=
 a short while.  Today the engine appeared to be almost bone dry after two f=
lights and the belly of the airplane appears to be dry and clean also. I cou=
ldn't say that for the engine before I removed it for overhaul.

There are still any issues to deal with. But who can complain; it's an airpl=
ane once more.
