FYI - Camguard and Continental Motors

[DaV8or]

As for CamGuard, when this topic came up last Fall, I asked if there were any conclusive studies performed that demonstrates the claims. I also asked if anyone ever correlated the data engine rebuilders could provide to help determine whether long term CamGuard usage, in low usage airplane engines was beneficial. What I got back were some test results for an aerobatic engine that was run a relatively short period of time that showed minimal wear. I thought the whole benefit of CamGuard was to help prevent corrosion on planes that may sit for a bit. Not the ones that fly routinely. Am I missing something?

 

 

You may be missing one. There is antecdotal evidence of engines run to TBO on Camguard, but it's not the scientific evidence many here seem to require. Sad to disappoint, but that evidence will never come because it would be very expensive and who is going to pay for it? The best we have is a 14 day test done by Av Consumer. It was done in their 2005 February issue. I'm not a subscriber, so I can't get it and post a link here, but I have read it and it did conclude that Camguard was far superior in corrosion protection to anything else out there. It is not a scientific study, but it is likely the best thing we will ever have.
