ROP

Hi Nick, Read your posting with great interest. No doubt that lop done correctly saves fuel and may extend engine life. I have a 1975 P337G and I tend to operate ROP. I sure do burn more fuel. Average about 26 to 27 GPH. I now have more than 2300 hours on my engines and they are still running strong. I fly quite a bit, average more than 250 hours a year. Sounds like your counting you chickens before they hatch. When you get 2300 hours operating LOP, let us know. BTW, I have a P=model, turbo charged and I only had to replace one turbo charger thus far. Good luck and I really hope your engines will last as long as mine.
