Matt,
I have a Beech Sierra with an IO360 and have always been plagued with oil
consumption problems. It is set up with fuel injection (obviously) but runs
with the standard magneto ignition. I had a top overhaul done a few years
ago and, afterwards, oil consumption was so bad, the mechanic agreed to redo
it at no charge. That helped, but did not cure the problem. I still burn
about one quart every two hours more or less. The oil is always black -
indicating blow by (I'm told), I complained on and off for months to the
mechanic who did the work, but I finally gave up and am just living with the
problem - and using a different mechanic.
I can't see how the ignition system has anything to do with oil consumption,
but I'm far from expert on aircraft engines.
Regards,
John Barrett
