 Jim,
    thanks for the post.
 
    Is it correct that this engine had no special work done to the valves when
it was built?
 
 Other tsio-550 drivers,
    How far are people getting without having to replace cylinders or do other
overhaul work?
    Anyone get past 1000 hours yet?  TBO?
 
 Colyn

  Recently, I received a request to give my thoughts on what I liked and
didn't like about the L4P. As it happens I had just completed a personal
record breaking flight followed by another unfavorable surprise, so I thought
I would share it with all of you.
 
  I have 350 hrs on the Hobbs and 300 hrs TT on the TSIO- 550E engine Flight
hours. My L4P is N6XE and lately featured in the Lancair ads on the inside
cover of Sport Aviation, thanks to Don Barns. The April issue also  has Dan
Newland's article and Steve and Claudette inside the back cover. So the LML is
all over the magazine. We should give autographs??
