Yes, Bob, I read the article on burnt valves. But I didn't find much in the way of legalese in it so most of it probably went right by me. However, taking your advice I'm changing oil tomorrow and putting in some AVblend. Will let you know what happens.
And, Skyking, I'll keep running my hightime front engine until either the compression goes south, the oil consumption goes north or the metal goes up. How's that? Now you just better hope I don't have to use that VERY expensive little rubber dinghy I am required to carry along every time I fly over the Gulf!
While I'm at it, I'm having my mags replaced on the rear engine. Hopefully that will stop the engine roughness I've started experiencing above 16,000 feet. And we're going to clean the screens in the prop governor. Maybe one of these days I'll actually get the thing running right!
