Hi All,

  BTW, Chuck Dunlap was apparently the sole Rotary standard bearer at the Copperstate Fly-in this weekend past.  Sorry, didn't get any photos; my "spare" batteries (Ni-MH) turned out to be flat.  Bought a new charger today.

  The Subie folks were all over the place. Dale R.

Dave, that first picture looks suspiciously like my rotor that I pulled
a couple of years ago, it was running without oil cooling due to a
plugged eccentric shaft oil jet. Mine was also missing the corner seal
plugs upon disassembly, I am sure they were installed. If your E-shaft
jet is plugged, it may account for the low oil temperatures.
