I ran mmo in the gas,
didn't notice any difference when i quit.
Are you leaking by the rings?
I dunno if you can do much to fix that.
chrome cyls are allegedly hard to break in.
about the only thing you can do now is pull the cyls, hone, & new rings-- then break in again.
Thats a lotta work & money.
I'd just live with the 60-72 over 80 myself.2020-07-15 17:19:19
BirdyinBOI After the MMO for 12 hours in the oil...12 oz in 10 qts...the comps are all in the 70’s with 3 of them over 75! I also ran some in the fuel for a tank. Not sure if I’ll continue or not.5 years ago -
OK...great info on the gas but how about MMO? Did you run it in the oil and the fuel? My engine has 350 hrs now on a chrome major but it sat untouched in a hangar for 15 years after accumulating 230 hrs. Compressions were all in the 70’s after rebuild but now they are 60-72. I was told that MMO could “break the rings free of junk” and raise my numbers back up. The MMO debate rages on I found.2020-07-15 17:02:05

I used to use mystery oil but stopped when it got expensive. I've always run 87 octane e-zero ogas in my airplanes (O200, O300, O20, O470), usually mixed with 20to 25% 100LL. I've been running 80% mogas& 20% 100LL in my 180, but recently had to base for 2 months at an airport which didnt sell fuel. so ran 100% mogas. The 180 didn't seem to know the difference.2020-07-15 16:49:22

Hey Eric...I saw a couple posts of your’s years back as I was researching MMO. It sounded like you use Mogas along with MMO. Is that correct? I’ve only used 100LL in my O-470L since I bought it 2 years ago but it has the Petersen STC for auto. It looks like this box allows a limited #of characters. Would you mind calling me or sending your Email so I can ask you about MMO? 208-871-8520. Phil2020-07-15 16:36:26

Con’t...
The “other” mechanic is a real rule gestapo. Everything has to be perfect and by the book. My normal mechanic is very reasonable. We haven’t talked about the spinner issue but I’m 90% sure he won’t care. I have to go to Italy next week and so my annual won’t get done until Aug 22.2019-07-28 19:59:33 -
Tim...I’ll answer here so it’s not so public...never know who’s reading...the mechanic that told me it is “illegal”is not my regular mechanic. My mechanic has had a shitload of stuff going on...personal and professional, and couldn’t get to me until August. My annual ran out on July 1. I didn’t want to miss a month of summer flying and he encouraged me to go to this other guy. Con’t...2019-07-28 19:58:02
