Oil report
Kevin,
I think you're right on the oil levels... our 1250 hour front engine didn't throw anything on the belly with the oil level at about 5.5 to 5.7 quarts, oil pressure top green and normal temp, and after shutdown +30 minutes, oil level was the same... this was after a 1.5 hour flight to 10,000 at cruise with 2400 and 27".
Prior to flight we did replace the 1/8" TCM gasket on the front engine oil cap (P/N 533355), it now seems to be a tighter fit. Also replaced the O-ring on the dip stick (P/N AN123860).
And although the front engine spooled to 35" in the takeoff roll, it was slower than the rear. The front engine hesitated at 27" and then came up mid-way down the runway, so we didn't have the egnines 'synched' until almost liftoff. So, we're still studying this one. More and more I'm beginning to suspect the controller is the culprit instead of the wastegate.
