So XXX are you saying the lean find function does not work?
Or could it be that the SR20 you are familiar with, and is in common with probably 90% of the fleet has an engine built by TCM pre say...2010 where the chances of valves actually mating properly with the valve seats was right up there with Buckley's? This is a known problem, but everyone seems to prefer the OWT as its easier to blame the operator who is uneducated and can't defend himself.
An SR20 with its jugs all rebuilt by a reputable shop, would make a much more reliable unit than most have seen factory new.
Sad reality it seems.
Now it is possible to burn up a TCM or LYC if you do it right, but I doubt that is what happened. And at 7500' I think you will find the chances on a NA IO360 are almost impossible no matter what you do.
If we stick to data backed science, we get facts. Not OWT's.
Best Rate, I have helped educate a large number of folk over the last few years, and as recently as yesterday one of the attendee's to my engine lectures walked into the hangar, and I did not recognise him and his wife, but they were so pleased they had to stop by, well we went for a quick sortie, and at low level full bore I showed them LOP at a high power setting, and everything behaved as it should....Funny how data based science = reality when the rubber hits the road.
