All you Lycoming guys,


I seem to remember not so long ago when the Continental 550 had a crank problem
that certain Lycoming aficionados stated Continental engines were an accident
waiting to happen.  Talked about bad workmanship and the likes.  I do think
that the Lycoming proponents now should be a little more humble.  It is after
all a Ford vs. Chevy issue.  I only hope that Lycoming handles the customers as
well as Continental did.
