Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: = Injector=20 Trivia

Rusty,

Thanks for the input, I thought that the highest oil temp was = what needed=20 to be watched as well as the highest water temp. I'll try to use botah = the pan=20 and return points for oil temp if possible.

Was really concerned about the injector movement.

The top=20 seal is of course the biggie. High pressure fuel is a = significant=20 hazard, but you can test that by turning the fuel pump on without = cranking the engine.
