Glum faces on Kamalii. Well, one glum face - mine.

We put the engine back together today, and it runs - yay!

Unfortunately, it appears the oil cooler needs more serious attention, as it pumped more oil into the cooling system. Possibly we have a leaking core. And removing the oil cooler from the engine is not a small amount of work...

Tomorrow I will pull the exhaust manifold off to get a better look at things and work out a game plan from there. Worst case scenario, we have to pull the whole front end off the engine. (Actually, the worst case scenario is that we have to pull the prop shaft, disassemble the shaft brake, undo all the engine mounts and jack the whole engine up so we can pull it off. But I'm not even entertaining those thoughts...)
