Does anyone know what's going on?

195402-1.html

Avweb has another blurb out today about it being abnormal wear on the
crankshaft counterweights. The 402B has a TSIO-520-EB 300 HP
Continental and the 402C a TSIO-520-VB 325 HP Continental engine.


Also was mention that the company told the pilots to run the engines at a
lower cruise RPM. After they did that they started having problems...
