Subject: | Re: Engine running rough at high power settings? |
OK, here I am again with the same problem. Coming into the break today at home
airport at full throttle / 82% rpm, all of a sudden had the same engine vibe/
roughness. Pulling throttle back 1/4 did nothing. Pulling prop control back to
70% completely eliminated it. I waited a couple seconds and moved prop back to
82%. No vibe anymore, even at that higher prop setting that was an issue just
10 sec prior.
Next time I am going to mag check it right away... it's one of those situations
where you want to stop the vibe ASAP when it happens, though, so may be a bit
too spring-loaded on that.
Dennis, in terms of the sticking valves... is this something that you can use a
borescope to reveal? I have added MMO and camguard (at different times) to the
oil as you recommended. Did not see an issue for awhile after that, but again
this has been super intermittent.
Any thoughts welcome!
