A truly outstanding article, but I tripped over...

Full-flow oil filtration was the hands-down
winner, reducing some types of wear by as much as 600%.

Y'see, the way I figure it, if you reduce the normal wear by 100%,
there's no more wear at all - the engine will last virtually forever.
But when you put on such nice parts that the wear is reduced by the
astronoimcal value of 600%, I figure it's only a matter of 100 hours
or so before the engine gets so dang tight from all the accumulating
"anti-wear" metal buildup that it'll no longer turn.

OTOH, I think there may be a solution for those of us with nearly
worn-out engines here. All we gotta do is to install a full-flow oil
filtration system for long enough to restore the engine to its factory
specs, then switch it back to the way it used to be for another
500-1000 hours or so. Heck, we could fly forever without any of those
pesky overhaul worries.
