Simon,
Can you provide some info on your flying habits? It would help us understand how much running time and what environment the engine has experienced. Also, what fuel are you using?
Thanks
well the engine is on a 16lb fw190, so sts warbird flying, fast low passes, full throttle claim outs into loops and rolls, slit S's - usual warbird stuff.
the engine is used maybe 5 flights on a flying day, and thats once or twice a week, all year round, so hot weather and cold winter whehter, with the mixture adjusted accordingly.
The engine has been runnnig on Optifuel 20%mv 4S, which has 20% oil of 275 centistrokes.
