I had a hangar neighbor who put them in his 2002 T182 (after hearing me blab
about them in my ex-Bo) and he was ecstatic about them. 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.

How is that possible?

If you plug the compression tester into the cylinder, but forget to open
the shutoff valve, both gauges read "80".

Happy Flying!

Only one would on the ones I've used.

real simple with a wet top end and tight valves. a clapped-out R-985
will read 80/80 right up to the point when it reads 0/80 instead.

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

Okay...so I'm misunderstanding a wet top end. Still, you inferred the
accusation that Newps was faking his compression levels, so put up or shut
up.

I'm assuming a wet top end is an engine tested that just got done
flying. 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
