Q: How many flights does it take to destroy the connecting rod bushing and crank pin when running improper oil content?

A: only 6

This is the result of running my ST G2300 on 32:1 oil ratio against the advise of people who know better. I figured it would fail, but not this soon. I had planned to send it to Ken Lambert for the needle bearing conversion, but had to fly it in the meantime. Big mistake.

I'm posting these pics just to show you exactly what happens to the bushing when you run it with low oil content, so there is no question about what will happen. Here is the proof.
