LEAN OF PEAK AND WHITE EXHAUST STAIN

[Danb]

Ok. I’ve been flying LOP. Since break in 40 some  hours ago, I’m getting considerably more white exhaust stains than I would expect but don’t know what is normal. Just finished just a 5 hour cross country  and the stains a nasty I cleaned the bottom just prior to flight. Maybe this is normal?

Yes, it's normal for my airplane. I run my Bravo almost exclusively LOP and always have the white exhaust streak.

Cheers,
Rick

Yes, I have the white exhaust streak as well.  My engine likes to stay at 8 qts and anything more will spit it out.  I have a pretty good white streak going on and it's normal..
