--> Commander-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
My sincere apologies today! This morning (Thursday) at about 3am the
Matronics Firewall broke. About 9am I was able to bring up an older
firewall and got everything back on line, or so I thought... While the web
pages were working, I had neglected to add a policy that allowed incoming
email to get to the email server (actually the SPAM filtering
appliance). I just checked my email for the first time today and noticed
that I hadn't gotten any List mail today. Hum, I thought, this can't be good!!
Anyway, I'm going to enable incoming email now on the firewall and things
should be back to normal. I'm sure sorry for the oversight. Hopefully
nobody had any withdrawals from lack of List banter today!! :-)
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

Howdy all. Thought I'd share my current excitement with everyone.
A couple weeks ago, I found a bit of "glitter" in the oil screen of my
right engine. Wasn't very much, just a few tiny flakes. Since both of
my engines are now right at 2000 hours, I decided to listen to what they
were telling me and made the call to overhaul.
Since funds are a bit tight right now, I opted to do as much of the
up-front labor as possible. I pulled both engines and did the teardown
and cleaning. I found exactly what I expected - two beautiful, clean
engines with no sign of distress at all, but one lifter beginning to
spall in each engine.
The reason I decided to pass this along is that the shop owner showed me
another engine he'd just completed tearing down for overhaul. The owner
had flown the engine about 200 hours past TBO as it was running great
and had only recently had a "few flecks of metal in the filter". When
the crank was inspected, the shop found that it was worn past service
limits. The mechanic showed it to me with the explaination that a
replacement crank was going to bump the overhaul cost by about $6000.
If the owner had pulled it AT TBO, it would have saved him a lot of money.
Other than possibly having to replace one cam, it looks like I got
lucky. I'm sure glad I didn't decide to ignore the quiet little signs -
it was VERY tempting as these were two of the sweetest running engines
I've ever flown behind. Great compressions, perfect oil pressure, etc.
It was time...
cheers all
chris

G'day Chris,
Thanks for the "heads-up". Sobering thought for us all!
Cheers
