geoffb Posted September 22, 2021 Author Report Posted September 22, 2021 Well, finally got the plane back from annual after waiting for a while for an induction tube. Flew the TCM run-in flight profile and have since put another 3 hrs on it running 65-75% and ROP. Compressions good, no real oil consumption to speak of. So all good for now I guess. Probably run the mineral oil for 10 hours, dump it, change the filter and go back to AD oil. Assuming no issues with consumption. Runs much smoother now. 2

A64Pilot Posted September 23, 2021 Report Posted September 23, 2021 Ref difficulty in measuring the interior of a valve guide. My Father was a Dentist, I learned to use Dental impression material to make mold of whatever I need to measure that was difficult, dental impression material is very accurate as it’s used to make a model of the patients teeth to make crowns etc for, and of course it’s easier often to measure a mold of something. You can get it on Amazon and it’s not expensive, probably mint flavored, but the mint doesn’t hurt.
