![]() "Jay Honeck" wrote in message ups.com... Jay, old sport, I fear the problem is that you are *hearing* a foreign language. Whatever. If you guys don't believe that beating an engine won't kill it quicker than babying it, because I lack "evidence", there's not much else I can say but "To each, his own." I will continue to fly my engine carefully and gently, nonetheless. ************************************ I think you may be starting to get defensive, now. NOBODY here would think that an engine that is getting beaten will last as long as an engine running at constant output. The debate is whether running from idle, up to full power (gently) often will be worse on it than constant output. You and your mechanic have an opinion on the subject, and that is your right. I (and others) just don't agree that frequent power changes (done correctly) are significantly detrimental to the life of your engine, and no studies or numbers have been offered on either side to prove the case, either way. Beat an engine, no contest. Beyond that, it all comes down to opinion. That is all it could be, at this point. -- Jim in NC |
