BTW, I'm not sure I'm going to let Bob get away with saying that- "It isn't uncommon for the Lycomings to need a top after a few hundred hours.".  If the engine is broken in properly, and wasn't a run out pile of junk to begin with (insert favorite Lycoming joke here <g>), this will not be the case.


I'll ignore that, just like I ignore your comments about the cost of the rotary only applying to the first one 8*)

I/O errors do not count for the purposes of this comparison since the cost of a poorly installed oil cooler and poorly installed baffling are both fried engines, and the additional cost of proper installation are marginal.
