| Subject: | Shout Out to Barrett |
Hi
Since Feb I have put about 70 hours on my *new* Barrett Precision Engines IO-540
that has both 9:1 pistons and cold air induction.
Of the 70 hours, 27 were over an eight day trip to eastern Canada from Alberta
(for the geographically challenged hat is similar to going from Montana to New
York).
In short I am very, very happy with how the engine has performed in hot and cold
weather. I recently took the engine up to 17K and still had ponies to spare.
My CofA limit is 20K and I might try that in the soon.
I haven't been aggressive in leaning the engine, but I have seen 155+ Kt TAS at
8-10k at 12-13 GPH using 21 square. Over the next couple of weeks I plan to
do a few controlled tests to see what the impact of different power settings
are.
The engine is very smooth - I have an MT 3 blade prop - one MUST look good on the
flight line!). Initial indications are the the injectors as provided are quite
close when leaning but I will have to do the GAMI test to confirm.
I am still mastering hot starts but the purge valve makes hot starts fairly simple.
Fortunately I have the fuel return lines already plumbed so I could take
advantage of this option.
Over the past 40 hours my oil consumption has been dropping, it now seems to be
around 13 hrs / qt and may be lower yet. I am still working out how much oil
the sump likes - I *think* it is something less than 6.5 qts. Part of my initial
oil loss may have been to higher than desired oil levels in the sump and the
overall break in process.
All that being said, Allan and Rhonda Barrett have provided great after sales
service. Service really matters when problems need to be fixed or questions (dumb
and otherwise) need to be answered. My experience with both has been great.
I always felt that Allan and Rhonda were as engaged with my success as I was
was.
Anyway, I just wanted to acknowledge the great product and service that Barrett
Precision Engines provides.
Cheers
Les

Hi
No this is not a kinky post .....
Years go at KOSH I got a couple of 10 oz samples of Extreme Simple Green. Until
recently these were lost the chaos that is my garage. As I needed to clean my
belly (the RV10 that is) I decided to give this rediscovered product a go.
It did an excellent job of removing a very heavy oil layer that was deposited during
my engine break-in. Much, much nicer than Varsol or avgas. I used only
2/3 of a 10 oz spray bottle to clean my belly.
Anyway. this will be my product of choice in the future.
Cheers
Les

Be careful with simple green. It is very abrasive and will etch paint and aluminum.
We are not allowed to use it on our King Airs, or Lear jets. Someone made
the mistake of using it and although it did indeed remove the oil and carbon
very well, it etched the paint and the aircraft had to be repainted.
Dawn with warm water in a squirt bottle can work well also.

There is Simple Green, original product, which the military banned from its
aircraft because it was corrosive. The Extreme Aircraft Simple Green was
developed to correct that, and is supposed to be safe and military approved.

There is a difference between Simple Green and Extreme Simple Green. The latter
is safe the former not so much.

Simple Green reformulated a new product "Aviation Approved". It is
relabeled for aircraft. The issue of hydrogen embrittlement and swelling
of tefzel wiring was corrected. The product Les was referencing to was
offered at Oshkosh when the product was released.
The regular stuff is still bad.
