2000 Hrs!
N789PH just flipped over 2000 hrs on a flight from Minne to Duluth with my nephew. It has been a fun almost 12 years!
My setup:
- ECI Titan O-320
- MS Carb
- Emag/PMag
- Hartzell
- Mostly 91/92 mogas
- Mostly LOP
- Phillips 20W-50 XC since new
Just got done with the oil change:
- Filter and Screen were clean
- Compressions were 77,76,78,78
Here's your borescope valve porn:
Cylinder #1
Cylinder #2
Cylinder #3
Cylinder #4

Looks really clean, likely due, in part, to the steady diet of mogas as well as the LOP ops. I wish I had easy access to mogas

Pete,
Great job keeping that bird moving, obviously maintaining her well and the inspiration! Carry on...

Thanks for the report Pete. We're tracking similarly, except, you're cleaner, faster, and fewer cylinder gyrations than we are.

So Vlad, I think we're all curious... what's your hour meter up to these days? I'm a slacker, trailing along at 1500+ hrs...
