Jay is merely parroting the OWT and misinformation that has been running
around out there for _years_.


Jay quotes an expert in the field and you accuse him of parroting
misinformation? LOP is good when properly done, but I think the statement
from Dawley says it is NOT being properly done for the most part. The
company I work for overhauls 400+ aircraft engines a year. Our teardown
shop can tell you which ones have been ran LOP and which have not.

I think the point is that it is the temperatue seen by the exhaust pipe
that matters, not whether it is LOP or ROP. And the temps mentioned by
Mr. Dawley sound more like runnint at peak, rather than either side.
People seem to automatically blame running on the lead side and that
simply isn't supported by the data. It is an old wives tale pure and
simple.
