Good tip - if you lean on the ground (in my view absolutely essential) then lean far enough so that you cannot get more than 2000RPM out of the engine; you can't damage the engine like that and you certainly can't take off with it leaned!
Has anybody ever seen REAL Russian oil? I have - I can tell you that all of the min temps for the M14 etc suddenly seemed very sensible. This was new oil. I can only describe it as a grey amorphus blob of cloying mush.The chap turned his glass jar upside down, counted to about five and the whole lot plopped to the bottom. The chances of that stuff lubricating below 40 deg C is NIL! The Russians are also very proud of their non-leaking engines. I wonder why they don't leak!
Koilber - 160hp O-320 (BZAJ at NW) but it is also available with an 0-540 pushing out 235hp.
Another contentious issue - Lengthy power checks cause much more harm than good on 'everyday' Lycs and Contis.
