If you recall, I said Deakin burned out his cylinders despite his GAMIs, not
because of them. GAMIs will never correct Continentals poor build quality
and crummy warranty service.

All the hype that GAMI puts out about cooler, cleaner, peak pressure etc.
doesn't do a thing for longevity of junk. See Deakin's cylinders, for
example. And if you need to privately discuss this with Deakin, at least get
your "facts" straight. Plus, go get some aviation experience so you can have
something to offer Usenet besides poor manners.

Best,

Get a brain and start using it.

Even John Deakin burned out a set of

touted fuel savings are, for the most part, due to a decrease in speed.

You
know, all that drag increase with V squared.


I'd hesitate to speak for Mr. Deakin but I'd venture that he'd
disagree violently that running lean of peak burned out his cylinders.
Since running lean of peak results in low temperatures and less gas
being burned, how exactly did they get burned out?


I addressed Kage's comments to Deakin and he responded in a private email.
You're completely right that Deakin disagrees...well, vehemently.
