He did have some "subconscious" hesitation about running LOP, but after a few tries he was hooked. Yep, so did I about running LOP. I don't have GAMI's yet, may not need them. I run LOP up to 75% and my plane is now in for it's annual. I put six brand new Milleniums on last Septemner at the annual because I got them for free. This years compression check...every cylinder 80/80. Which I expected because I have a three year warranty on the cylinders. |

Kinda hard to have a wet top end in a Continental 520/550, isn't it? |

Still, you inferred the accusation that Newps was faking his compression levels, so put up or shut up. |

My engine was cold, the mechanic towed it over to his side of the T hangar building that morning so all cylinders were 60 degrees F |
