Just like this one but Jim knows but few others. Worth less if the original reference is not there IMHO. do not archive. Indiana Larry Per the guidelines Matt posts monthly: - When responding, NEVER quote the *entire* original post(s) in your response. DO use lines from the original post to help "tune in" the reader to the topic at hand, but be selective. The impact that quoting the entire original post (an all the subsequent answers) has on the size of the archive cannot be overstated!

Is it worth wild to install total seal rings in my 75 hr Titan cylinders? I understand that the middle ring is the most common to replace while replacing the top ring can lead to excessive oil being drawn through the intake valve guide. Does anyone have more information, possible first hand experience? Many thanks, Do not Archive, David Ahrens/RV6-A ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:34:54 PM PST US From: "Bruce Gray" Subject: RE: RV-List: total seal piston rings --> RV-List message posted by: "Bruce Gray" You should be able to just use a hone to break the cylinder wall glaze and reuse the old rings.

I am looking for a weight reduction and elimination of the 2000 - 2250 RPM restriction. I talked to Whirlwind today and the rep mentioned that the prop designer "recommends" avoiding 2250 - 2300 RPM and this is identified in the owner's manual. Those of you using this prop, how are you handling this recommendation? Thanks Ted Flying RV4
