Default RE: glow engines...whats the difference?

ORIGINAL: cutaway

If you're only getting 5gal out of an engine, then there's something wrong. It's too lean and burning up the P/L and other wearing surfaces, or maybe the fuel doesn't really have enough oil, or it was half wrecked during breaking it in.

What is a typical failure mode when they die? Loss of compression? bearing failures? mechanical breakage? Seizing?
Exactly! Rather have it a little rich than lean. I wanna see some smoke man! LOL!
