I am curious about a situation I haven't encountered before.
I just bought a '62 Cessna 172 with 70 hours on an overhauled 0-300 engine. New millenium cylinders were installed. Can I, or should I, run on 80 octane or 100LL? The airport that I'm moving to has 80 octane available (a rarity in this day and age). My previous airplane was a '59 Forney F-1 (Ercoupe) with a C-90 and regular cylinders and I had two stuck exhaust valves in 2 years despite aggresive leaning while running on 100LL (but not putting in any Marvel Mystery Oil or AvBlend). So, 80 or 100? MMO or AvBlend or nothing? (does one need to mess with these if you are running on 80?). Thanks, Ryan Wubben |
