I checked my turbo and it spins nice and free. The engine also turns over easily. The oil in it is obviously new. I will clean out the fuel tank and start it up as soon as I get a chance.
While looking at the engine to see about draining the engine I noticed that the oil cooler is mounted on the bottom over the oil drain. There are two oil lines connected to it and it looks like a real pain to remove it completely to drain the oil every 50 hours. Did Revmaster make any other easy way to drain the oil other than to take the whole cooler assembly apart? Perhaps just disconecting one of the oil lines somewhere? Since it has a filter I am thinking that the screen can be removed instead of cleaning it every oil change, but there still needs to be an easy way to drain the oil. I'll make some kind of valve off the oil pump and something to suck the oil out before I remove the cooler every time unless the is already an easier way.
