Default RE: Help with rust in engine

I've never bothered with after run oils. Usually my last flight of the day is done with a dead stick landing and there should be enough of a castor oil film inside the engine to take care of the rest. Real finicky guys will run their engines on 0% nitro fuel at the end of the day to flush out the nitro. The idea is to postpone pitted bearings.
