news  The big problem on Lycomings is not fatigue, but corrosion of the #1 & #2 cam lobes on engines infrequently flown. Moisture collects in the top of the forward part of the crankcase, which is where the cam is located; #1 & #2 cam lobes are right therre to get the moisture. Prop acting as a heatsink? Cooler at the front due to airflow? Paul
