I just changed the mineral oil after 25 hours with new Superior Millenium
cylinders (standard cast). The rings are broken in and consumption has stabilized. My analysis came back with high Lead, Chrome, and Nickel levels which Superior says it normal with these cylinders. However, the analysis also came back with very high levels of Tin (13.6 vs 1.2 before the new cylinders). Aviation Laboratories said on the analysis sheet that this could be caused by bearing wear. My A&P said the lower half of the engine looked good when he installed the Cylinders. Superior says the Tin shouldn't be in there from breaking in the cylinders. They suggest retesting in another 25 hours. Anyone know what may be going on with the Tin? Thanks in advance.... Trip Farmer N8501N PA28-235 |
