DHamblin Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 9. "RE: Pics of our O200 Engine Major -..." 03-17-04, 18:24z  Well, It runs and runs great! I got the honors to start it, it ticked off after just two blades and I had oil pressure after about 15 seconds. Checked out the LH/RH mags etc, then had it idling at about 600 rpm smooth as silk. It never did that. We shut down, checked for any leaks or seeps (none!). Let it cool down, cowled it up and started it back up. Our A&P partner and CFII partner then took off for a 40 minute shake-down flight. Upon landing they said it ran great (sounded great on take-off and while they orbited the field). Checked, still no leaks. Still have a few hours break-in to do but we are very pleased with the engine. Everyone should rebuild at least one Dave Hamblin (formerly DaveH on old site!)
