![]() Whenever I see less than 200 hours on an engine in a year, it seems like there are tales of destruction of an engine to follow. ??? That describes almost every privately owned aircraft at our airport. Only trainers routinely put on more than 200 hours per year. Mary and I fly more than anyone at the airport, and we just barely put 200 hours on last year. Really? I would have thought you put far more than that on, per year. OK, then perhaps it is the frequency of being well warmed up that is the more important factor. I have always read that the moisture that is the killer, and when engines sit for more than a couple weeks, frequently, that the rust begins killing the internals. I wonder what the minimum time per year, and maximum frequency of running is necessary to keep rust at bay? Still, I think that only rollers touching the cams would be beneficial. I wonder how many kits have been designed to retrofit popular lycosaruses? -- Jim in NC |
