aaronk25 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Posted October 9, 2013 My O-360-A1D has 2058 hours since factory reman in 2004. Compressions at the last 100hr were 75/70/74/70 and oil consumption is about 1 qt every 10 hours. I do oil changes every 50hrs with W100 and CamGuard and send a sample to AVLAB in New Orleans. I don't plan to overhaul anytime soon unless something dramatically changes. Your thought process is very sound in my opinion. Flying every week and using camguard will ensure a long successful period of engine operation. I'd bet these engines are good for 3500+ hours if a few precautions are met. Aaron Quote
