There is a relatively new technology out that a number of A&P's are adopting. They just call it 'Dynamic Prop Balancing.' They balance your prop on your engine throughout the power-band, using a computer that detects every little nuance of vibration in the whole powerplant. They also claim that they can detect things like sticky valves or soft cylinders in the process. They guys around here who've had it done rave about the results.

As my supply of 80 avgas has dried up, I'm now running 100LL and have had a number of folks recommend adding TCP to the fuel. Question 1: who out there is using it? Do you find it helpful? How can you tell? Question 2: in the Aircraft Spruce on-line catalog, I found the following part numbers for TCP. I've not heard it referred to as "concentrate" before. Is this the right stuff? 05-21300 ALCOR TCP CONCENTRATE QT. 05-21400 ALCOR TCP CONCENTRATE GAL. Thanks, all.

I'm going to take it on faith that it helps, because the wide-spread reports are that it really does.

It's actually a giant syringe with calibrations embossed on it for the right amounts for gallon values of 100LL and 80. All you do is note how much gas you just added and pull that much in the syringe and deposit half in each wing tank. Two reasons for getting the dispenser: 1. The can is designed for it 2. TCP is really nasty carcinogenic stuff that you don't want to be messing with pouring out and wiping up. The dispenser keeps it away from you nicely.

Wouldn't fly without it. Here is a tip. When you get your syringe, wrap it in clear tape because the TCP will wear off the colored markings if it touches them. The blue markings are for the 100ll. Liz and I hope to see you in Mich.

The FBO at my airport pulled the plugs on their training plane while I watched one day for the necessary regular cleaning. They had so much lead powder on them I was surprised they still worked adequately. I think they WERE using TCP. I don't know if you'd get that kind of accumulation if you do a lot of cruising instead of the bump and go of the training plane. 100LL isn't great stuff for our engines. It was an economic compromise with the high-compression crowd. I later switched mostly to autogas.
