I would look all over. They can get anywhere (gear well as example or in the cowling). If they are sitting on the plane pooping then they are probably building nests. Not saying you didn’t pre-flight just that the poop means they were working on nests given the time of the year. They are clever beasts.

If you have bird poop I would look for nests as well especially in the tail.

The advice of personally inspecting is misguided. If you were somebody who could do that you wouldn’t be asking the question. That isn’t meant to be snarky either but when I am sick I go to a doctor. Get somebody highly competent to look at it like Maxwell or the like. Savy could be another option. They are all a great deal till it turns out they aren’t and the $20K you saved turns into $50K of expense. Nothing wrong with any airplane damage if fixed right, good luck.

No matter the brand the wheels always get stuck on some small piece of FOD.

If your oil pressure is normal but the temp is at levels you indicate would check the temp probe. Oil temp of 240 is going to degrade pressure.

I was at FL250 and ATC told Delta to look for a Mooney passing 2K above them. They were confused a bit.

Once they get in it is hard to keep them out. When I was outside had one get in one year. I tried all sorts of things but they are clever little beasts and they were always getting in somehow.

I just push the turbo in more, leaning is for posers.

Looks to have a lot of useful load.

The right parts often don’t fit anymore because they were fitted with larger fittings when the original snapped out.

What is the mission?

I was going to say something but you used the verbiage “doesn’t like flying” inverted.
