Me has a sneaky suspician that our guys lost a rather expensive aircraft due to engine failure and had to go "fetch" it out in the sand. [:'(]

I'd be looking for a compression tester or leak down device too. The only way to predict future performance is to keep records of PAST performance.

I'm out of this one because I couldn't tell you where to get either of those devices or how to accurately use them. Try and play nice guys. [8D]
