Frank, PropTop,

Brian, it should be a bit lean of the four -> two-cycle break point.

The little brother of this engine; the .50GT, was the only Webra ABN I ever saw peeling its sleeve.

...And it did it and seized on the spot, during break-in, while I was trying to convince the owner to lean down the mixture...

He tried to claim I had "jinxed" the engine by being there....
A few weeks earlier, after I had published my Hebrew break-in article, he had published an article in his own web-site, saying this Webra must be broken-in as rich as it would possibly run... and proceeded to "proved his point" there, with everybody watching...

I was not gloating! ... I really feel sorry for some lost causes.
