After 4.5 years, a half cup of MMoil in rotor 2 did it!  .7 hours, multiple starts.  60 psi oil, 175 degree oil, 185 degree water, 7 psi water.  2 small coolant leaks.  heater core kept the cabin warm.  Charging circuit works.  No oil leaks.  No fuel leaks.  Fixed about 5 of them last week.  Engine still a little rough, but turning should fix that.  Controller B not working.  28 degree OAT.  EGTs not working.  Tuned headers (24in) not excessively hot.  Tuned intake (17.5 in) seems to be working.  Many minor things to be done, but the toughest is over.  Thanks to all of you, I've lurked and learned and it has paid off.  Hope to fly in a month or so.
