Prevention is better than cure !

Lycoming publish a sevice instruction on this subject and they say that the problem can mostly be cured by the correct engine shutdown drill as follows.
  1. Set 16-1800 RPM for 20-30 seconds
  2. Reduce the RPM to 1200
  3. Mixture to ICO
    I will look up the Lycoming SI number so you can all read what the engine makers say about this problem.
