LOP/ROP arguments about Jabirus are missing the point; with a Bing Carburettor and no EGT probes, who would have the faintest idea of what is going on.
Bingo.
I am not going to expand on this because it is common to all aircraft engines and is the same old story, fit the engine analyzer now. In Jabiru's case they should just inject the engine, either electronically or manually.
Bingo.

That way you can easily do this:
Anyone who knows [Jabiru engines] will tell you to keep the CHT's below 110 C and the heads are a heap more stable.
Listen to Oracle1.

Once you can control and measure EGT, you can set a mixture (and RPM) that doesn't result in the cylinders getting the hardest beating you can give them. Once you can control and measure a couple of key variables, you have a better chance of working out what's breaking, and why.
Considering your 'confident' attitude I assume you have the data for that. Care to share so we can critique?
No. I just made that up.
