Oil analysis is really the only thing you can look at besides the old "howzit
runnin" and compression checks. Although through oil analysis the best info
are the trends, if the data indicates something out of the ordinary, you can
watch it. Generally the amount and type of metals is a good indication of the
engine's condition.

Subject: RE: [ercoupe-tech] engine rebuilding
All,
Speaking of engine rebuilding/overhauling, reconstructing what he could from
the logs, which were "lost", the previous owner calculated that my engine has
about 1200 hours on it. It is 63 years old.
Lookis like it had a top overhaul at some point.
It seems to use more gas than it did a few years ago, but compressions are
all good.
I intend to keep flying so long as it keeps running sweetly.
SO,
What are the impending failure signs for which I need to watch? Any advice?
