Default 500 Hour Engine -- What Needs to be Done?

Hey, you've only been burning autogas since your new engine, right? Any
ideas on how many gallons you've consumed so far?


We just turned 6000 gallons on the Mighty Grape's fuel gauge.

However, we didn't build the Grape until 9 months (or so) after we bought
the plane. Prior to that we were *groan* hauling 5 gallon jugs to the
plane...

The only time that engine has burped in 532 hours was when running on avgas.
I fouled a plug badly, after a long ground hold in Titusville, FL, and had
to come 'round and land with my #2 cylinder badly misfiring.
