Hey Krayzc, yes I was told it was a lean run for the first repair. I had a hard time believing it because I had this engine in the same plane for 5 years without an incident. After the repair I was advised that the needles were set and should be good to go, this might have been a misunderstanding between Keith and myself. I should have used my usual rule of thumb, "richen the pee-pee out of it and work from there" especially on a newly ringed engine. I will take the heat on this one. My only gripe is that a newly ringed engine shouldn't have come out of the shop with the high side needle less than 3/4 open. This is what I found after the second seizure. I blame no one but myself, a hard lesson learned.
