Kent,
Let me interpret this for you. Lycoming built a series of 0-320 called the H
model, that suffered from camshaft and lifter spalling. After tons of warrany claims, they tried oil additives, bulletins, silly letters as this........Really Ken,
I don't see many people at my airport pickeling their airplane engine when they go on vacation. Even if they preserved the cylinders, what would it do for cam and lifters?
I am surprised to learn how rust prone Lycoming nitrided cylinders are. Better I suppose than the high oil consumption of chrome cyls.
Bottom line......do what makes you happy. See you at SNF.......2008.
