Ah...respectively I'd like to see the supporting evidence you used for that being the only reason. 1st, a multi-viscosity oil will get up to the critical parts sooner than a single weight, especially in winter, reducing cold start wear. 2nd and more importantly the straight 50w oil, at cold...

Love how this tool, creates negative attention for himself to get noticed then wants to talk rational and buddy-buddy.... I also watched this joker on Mooneyspace....good for beachtalk! Mooney crew should have given him the boot too. Skynewbie: your a idiot, stop wasting the time of these...

Nope......temp is the limiting factor. Keeping it at 380 by leaning more, to keep it cool if needed is smart flying. All MP is is air.....when your LOP power is controlled by fuel, not air.

I fly a mooney, the comanche is similar in efficiency, slow down to 172 speeds and I bet you will get 40% better mpg than a 172.

Your insurance may not go up at all. You will have to wait abs see. I had a 60k claim and it went down at next renewal. No other company will insure you for some time, probably 3-5 years as for whatever reason the insurance companies look out for each other and want the company that...

The higher the compression the more energy extracted from the fuel, lower compression less energy. This is why a big 6 cylinder turbo lycoming engine with the lowest compression ratio of 7.5 of all (that I am aware of) engines produces the highest egt at 1,750 degrees! My mooney with a...

Btw, you didn't mention what type of egt measuring system you have is it a multi point digital or single point? And MAKG1 is spot on.... Research mike busch egt myth....it's a great webinar

Might be your probes or display. The only way to increase egt is to decrease timing or lower compression. Other than that you got the same engine as the other 0-320s. CHTs is the important reading as far as absolutes. Egt only used to tell how far ROP or LOP you are and maybe used to help...

I'm highly skeptical I think 10gph is going to get you about 145kts maybe under ideal circumstances 148kts in the cirrus.....no way. And is it my eyes or is the 172kts picture showing a slight decrease in altitude indicated in the vfpm indicator. Sorry just skeptical.....

http://www.eaavideo.org/video.aspx?v=1204537102001 Have him watch the link above.....I believe you he is honest but a lot has changes in best practices in engine repair and the old school way of conducting repairs ends up costing the owners more money. At the price of cylindes it might save...

Still don't understand why you would "top overhaul" the engine, how do you know all the cylinders need to be changed? What if there is only a issue with 1 or 2 cylinders....also when you remove all the cylinders there isn't any tension on the case so which is a problem in itself. Changing...

Lycoming says the engine is unairworthy if it uses 1.8 or more quarts per of oil per hour or more. If your mechanic finds the problem and thinks it something rather minor such as a oil control ring on one cylinder try switching to aero shell straight 50w and see if it reduces oil consumption...

Go to a mechanic that has a bore scope and look inside the cylinders and find out where the oil is coming from before planning a top overhaul. Top overhaul is a expensive and most likely wasteful use of money. Google Mike busch all about cylinders or diagnosing high oil consumption and watch...

More government regulation....I'd rather deal with status than be told what we have to buy
