There is less than a week left in this year's List Fund Raiser and only a few short
days to grab one of the great Contribution Gifts available this year. Support
is still significantly lagging behind last year at this point but hopefully
it will pick up here towards the end. Please remember that it is solely the
Contributions of List members that keeps the Lists up and running as there
is no commercialism or advertising on the Matronics Lists and Forums.
The List Contribution web site is secure, fast, and easy and you can use a credit
card, Paypal, or a personal check:

| Subject: | Wear point worth checking |
I noticed recently that the braided lines going to my oil cooler were very close
to one of the pushrod tubes on the rearmost cylinder. I made a note to check
that next time the bottom cowl was off, and in doing so yesterday I was shocked
to see that they had clearly been vibrating against the tube.
The wear was not only visible, but could easily be felt with my fingers. I don't
know the thickness of those tubes, but I'd estimate the worn depression was
a few thousandths deep.
The lines are now secured from vibration. I know each plane is different, but
since these lines are routed similarly on all the planes it's worth making a note
and checking next time you have access to the engine.
Bill
