Ring flutter is an uncontrolled vibration of the piston rings when
pressure against the cylinder wall and rpm are inadequate.
> Just how concerned should I be?
In my opinion, no need to lose sleep over ring flutter on a Lyc.

I would be concerned...I suggest you check your engine timing...Also if
your fuel is old, it has lost some of it's volatility, and I would drain
it and replace it with "fresh" gasoline...Are you burning Auto Gas?..The
book says that 360 needs 100LL (all of them, 160 and above require
it.)....................Good
Luck.......................CHEERS!!!!.............................Gene

I guess I just don't see how you relate a question about theoretical ring
flutter with engine timing or age of fuel. I'm missing the connection.
Actually a 180 only requires 91-96 or 91 mogas with STC.
Only the 160 and the 200hp versions need the extra octane.
