I was a bit nervous for that first hour or two after
getting it back together - basically circled the airport. 
Seems to be breaking in nicely though, oil consumption is
only about 1 quart every 25 hours or so versus leaking 1
quart every 3 hours before.  This just affirms to me that
when breaking in an engine, run it hard.

have in front of you!
