This is my first time back here in some time and I would like to thank everyone for their input. The cylinder was glazed and I now have a spare. My trip across the country was good in that I used less than a quart of oil in 20 hrs I did however have a bunch of ground runs thereafter to keep the batt...

Thank you all, great information.

I will pick up a borescope so I do not have to depend upon a poorly equipped AME.

I will repost when resolved

Thanks for this I hear you on the egt, it is the only reference I currently have to temp and I have been using 1300 as a guideline. I flew 2500 squared for the first several hours but then had to transit the country. Much of this flight was 2300 squared due to fuel capacity and distances to be cover...

I ran break in oil throughout the 25hrs I flew across Canada, AB - NL about 20hrs I do not know for sure what the upper limit for the EGT so I keep it below 1325 F when possible (other than takeoff it can go to 1360 for a short period of time). I try to keep it below 1300 in cruise Is the cylinder t...

Last year at annual inspection I replaced #4 jug due to burnt valve This year at annual the same cylinder location is showing 40 psi with only 25 hrs of service I have an egt probe on that cylinder and keep the temp under 1325 F. The blow by is around the rings and not the valves Q: Could this be st...

I believe the floats are rated for 2600+ however the air-frame engine combo is limited to 2450, I done a weight and balance and can keep it inside the parameters of the design. I don't know how the weight in the floats (below the center line of the airframe) will behave. I also reached out to the ma...

I am about to cross the country in a Cessna 175 /w O-470 and Aqua 2400's I do not have much range so I have to carry access fuel. Rather than carry jerry cans in the cabin ( what I am use to) I decided to carry 40L in each float compartment What effect will this have on handling, carrying weight bel...

Thanks for this

When do the 10 year overhaul requirement occur?

Can anybody help me understand why this is?

Does anybody know of a Javelin tank for sale?

Does anybody know for a Javelin tank for sale?

How does one go about getting a ferry tank approved / installed for such a cross country flight? I am flying...

Thank you for the advice The cylinders were tested during annual and I assume it was a hot test I am not sure what was done to check leaks however it seems strange that the two back cylinders are the ones out of normal - to my limited knowledge and thought process it seems to suggest overheating????...

Seeking advice Cessna float configuration I have a low hour Nu-Chrome top end and number 1 & 2 cylinders have fell to the low 60psi range in short order I have a single point EGT in number two stack and run around 1300 deg, 50 deg less than peak and at about 13gph I am considering replacing the two ...
