Hi guys,
Sept 10 After a Hy-Vee lunch with the guys, I went to the hangar and did a thorough preflight, did take a full 5 quarts to top oil off before startup. The Subaru fired up immediately and I taxied out. Oil temps began at 60 p.s.i. and when warmed went down to 45 p.s.i. Tower cleared me for 10. The lift off was trim-adjusted with no perceptible feel for the weight change up front. I flew south of the control zone to the designated "practice area. Oil temps at 3000 feet reached 228 degrees at 4300 rpm and I progressively brought up the power in 100 rpm increments every 8 minutes or so. CHTs stayed 190 to 200 degrees, EGTs 1380, Coolant 200 and when rpms reached 5100 and airspeed at 128 mph, oil temps never went over 233 degrees. All other temps stayed well in the green. The remote oil filter kit resolved the max temp issues. I stayed on an east west track until I was satisfied that the engine was happy within its full range of operation and then headed back to Moline. Descending at 125 into the pattern was easy, the landing was smooth and I taxied back to the south tees with 175 hours on the engine. The cowl was unbuttoned, the engine was drip-free and oil hoses stayed where they'd been clamped. Pictures are added to the bottom of my engine page that shows the components and installation in greater detail. Very satisfied with this modification! Data was entered into the logs.
