The latest in the high oil-temp and consumption story: After consultation with a friend at a local shop that does a lot of engine work (they recently did the AOPA Tri-Pacer...twice.) and talking to a couple of other mechanics about the condition of these cylinders, we have decided to go with a new set of Milleniums.
The decision was partly based on the fact that we only need three, since there is already one nearly-new Millenium cylinder on this thing, installed by the previous owner. That always bothered me, it was like having a car with three old tires and one new one. So, they are on order, and in the meantime I'll be taking the rockers over the machine shop. Apparently, the Millenium cylinders are complete, except for the piston pin and rockers. Pistons and rings are included. All I have to do is double-check the ring gaps and bolt them on. Of course, I won't be able to afford to fly it afterward, but what the hey. ----------------------------------- Steve Dold ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Say NO to useless over-quoting -----------------------------------
