Kinda hard to have a wet top end in a Continental 520/550, isn't it?


uh, no.


Okay...so I'm misunderstanding a wet top end. Still, you inferred the
accusation that Newps was faking his compression levels, so put up or
shut up.


I'm assuming a wet top end is an engine tested that just got done flying.
My engine was cold, the mechanic towed it over to his side of the T hangar
building that morning so all cylinders were 60 degrees F

I "assume" a wet top end is done for a radial where the oil has flowed to
every part of the engine (NOTE: I'm woeful on mechanic-speak).

IAC, my take, FWIW, is a certain jealousy that your engine, after a few
hundred hours, was reading better than these other folks engines do when
damn near new.

That an engine can run LOP without blowing up, and running many hundreds of
hours that way, and still have good compression and oil analysis is likely
disheartening to many who have to abide by the "Old Fashioned" way of
things, particularly the folks who wouldn't DARE contravene the established
ways of old.

That infidels like you and me and many others have had good results is,
well...distasteful to them! :~)
