Subject: LycomingEngines-List: Roller tappets and NiC3 cylinders


I would like to get a survey from this savvy group on the merits or not of roller
tappets for a Titan Lyclone 160hp O-320. This is a new engine which Im ordering
for my experimental W-10 Tailwind. I live in Michigan and the airplane will
sit for up to 3 winter months without flying. Annual flying hours will be fairly
low, around 50. Will be operated mainly on 94NL av gas, Phillips X/C oil
and possibly Camguard. It can be ordered with a choice of roller tappets or conventional
hydraulic tappets. 
Not looking to start a primer war. Just looking for some experienced input.
I would also like input on any experience with Titans NiC3 cylinders.

Thanks,
Eric
