Were there any signs before you started flying?   Like, somethng yo umay have
noticed when looking at the engine on a preflight?   I have a Tiger in right
now that has soot around #3 and exhaust stains around the #1 top plug but I
can't see anything at all on the engine that looks like it needs attention.=20

Compression in #1 was 72/80.

I think for all this you might want to leave your plane for a while.

Are you going to install new lights?   Ultra Vision panel lights?    powder 
coat the overlay?   There is a week or so involved in doing all that.

OK, that makes sense.   I've run this with the cowl open and can find nothing
out of the ordinary.   I guess we'll see.   Thanks for the update.   I've
been sharing your adventures with Team Grumman.   Hope you don't mind.
