A few corrections:
It was the 250 not the 251.
The engine did not catch fire, hi vibes, hi EGT (800)eng shut down.
On landing after selecting reverse thrust the no1 eng surged.
Only tests that are required after installing a pre tested engine are tests 1, (fuel and oil circulation) 3a (minimun idle check) and 14 (nose cowl anti-ice test) an additional test was caried out and that was test 4a although not reqd (VIGV airflow control). Which were all carried out.
CAD do not require an airtest.
Engs 1 & 2 were the replaced engines.
1000 is not 400 above the limit, 600 is the limit for starting, then again you should know that! 805 is allowed upto 20 secs.
Yes an engine change takes 8 hrs, if you have one to hand and it is fully made up, if you don't have one then it takes a little longer whilst you wait for it to be shipped over!
