Subject: Engines-List: Input on small Lycoming engine

We would appreciate input from anyone on the following  issues

The following  questions are relevant to the small Lycomings, i.e., 0235,  
0290, 0320. 0360 normally aspirated engines.   

Please express; Benefits  / Pro's / Con's

We're not righting a book  or doing scientific research, just trying to 
learn, take good care of our  investment, and afford to fly in these times of 
increasing costs; your input  will be greatly appreciated. 

1- Cleaning inside the  cylinders with walnut shell grit, while still 
installed on the engine, per  S.I. No. 1418.

2- Use of the Champion REM37BY spark  plugs for better lead scavenging while 
using 100 LL, per S.I. No.  1042T.

3- Using " APPROVED ", Alcor  TCP in the 100 LL fuel.

4- Using MMO in the 100 LL fuel. ( Yes we're aware that it isn't  "APPROVED" 
and none of you are doing this. )

5- Using auto fuel, per EAA or  Peterson STC's. 
     A- Which do you  like best, and why?
     B- What "  Brands " of fuel do you like best & why?
     C- How do you  deal with Alcohol blends?
     D-  Do "YOU " feel alcohol is detrimental to these  engines?
        E- Are you  "leaning" as you should when using 100 LL?

6- Using MMO in auto fuel. ( Yes we  know this isn't " APPROVED " either, 
etc..)

7- Operating at higher RPM's during  start-up/warm-up, taxing and shut-down, 
per S.L. No.  L192B. 

8- Aggressively leaning mixture  while using 100 LL per S.I. 1094D   

I know there is a lot of us  out here that are interested in hearing comments 
to these  questions; and there are many of you that are VERY KNOWLEDGABLE in 
these issues; PLEASE share your experiences with us here on the  "LIST", or 
"OFF LINE" if you prefer, and help the rest of us to be able to fly a  little 
longer and affordable.

Sir I would switch the plugs and see if the drop goes to the other mag. If  
it does,
it's a plug, if not it's the mag for sure. Just a positive way to place  
blame.
