Kristoffer Posted June 25, 2019 Report Posted June 25, 2019 I recently flew with the manufacture to learn the procedures they recommend for proper engine break-in. 2

carusoam Posted June 28, 2019 Report Posted June 28, 2019 @Kristoffer that is a great introduction to Continental tech people. They are great to work with... My Buddy Cris Gleason helped me with communications with the Continental people. He knew them pretty well after upgrading to a 310hp IO550for his Eagle... I just followed Cris’ lead... It is nice to meet Chuck Cook. I’ll look to find him over on that BT thingy... Which engines do you have in your bird? Is that a pair of TNIO550s? It is interesting to hear the last comment regarding cooling the turbos... Does Chuck have a preferred method of cooling or not re-heating turbos on Continental engines? Thanks for sharing the video. Best regards, -a-
