When I first started flying
my coot the rotors were not coated and I was fighting cooling problems and I was
seeing oil temps up to 260 degrees on full power climb and cruising at 220
degrees, I then pulled the engine down and coated the rotors without pulling the
bearings and had no problems with them.
After coating the rotors the temp toped out at
220 on climb and dropped to 180 in cruise, at that point that was the only
change I made and ran it for several hundred hrs so that should be a good
comparison of apples to apples, since then I have made changes that has dropped
the temp to 160 on climb and 140 in cruise.

This is just
the sort of testimonial that I was looking for Ken. Thanks very
much. I think I'll go ahead with plan A, and have them coated. If
the bearings look damaged when they return, I'll come up with some way to change
them. I should have them in the next few days, and should be able to get
them to Performance Coatings in time for their next Wednesday run.
Thanks,
Rusty (now if
someone could just tell my installers how my new Trane heat pump is
supposed to be wired)
