There are several auto motors being used in planes now. I think they are using Ford V6 motors. I am not really getting what you guys mean by the motor "is designed for blow by oiling". What is that much different? Looking at a Saito, It appears to me to be similar to most single cylinder 4 cycles.

I have no doubt that "they" could make a model airplane engine with a pressurized oiling system that would last a very long time but there's no money in it.

No, I know that a small block V8 can't take the lack of oil... I am curious as to about where the cutoff line is... you don't know.... I know that. Get off my thread if you don't have value to bring....

I sure can't see a small block Chevy lasting long on gas/oil mix...

RE: 4 cycle experts?
car engines have a bit of blow by. My car has three rings a high compression ratio and the oil still manages to blow by and burn. my question is when its so much lighter weight to have a oil system in fuel why would you want an oil system like what cars have? and it adds a level of complexity that makes more moving parts to break down.

Some outboard boat engines and motor cycle engines are (were) 2 cycle with the boat engines maybe upwards of 200 hp. I never owned one but I think they had oil injection which resulted in a sacrificial usage of the oil.
Don't forget the old Saab automobile 2 stroke popcorn popper engines from back in the 60's. They performed very well with years of service.

I had a Kawasaki 500 triple that had oil injection (2 stroke). Racers got over 100 HP out of them, and many converted to premix for simplicity. It had a HP curve that would make MT. Everest look like an ant hill.

BTW they had two strok SAAB's that had oil mixed in the fuel. I think they added about a quart to a 10 gallon tank.
