Default RE: EME 55 DLE's new Cousin?

Ok, I just did a first run on my test bench. Everything was fine, and at a final inspection the engine seems to be all right, thought I didn´t force it past 5.000 rpm with the menz 22x10. Did start quite easily for a new engine. Closed the low end a little to reach a stable 2.100 idle. Vibrations seems normal to me, but again, it was on a test bench so in a plane may feel different. I have a giant reactor waiting for this engine, but I have to install all electronics so it may take a little longer to have this engine flying. I have another plane from a costumer waiting to be asembled, so to make things a little faster, I will run it for a couple of hours in the bench, and next week I will put in the reactor.
To have in consideration, I changed the spark plug to a ngk, and I had to reset the timing, becouse it was at 24º from the factory.
