Bill,

  So carbon buildup was from a total of 170 hrs on 89-91 rotors...... ....Was carbon

on the 86-88 rotors considerably more considering they had 580 hours on them ?

   I presume there is still no definitive reason for your sudden power loss............

Kelly,

I was using one oz of TC-W3 per gallon.  I had the engine off 170 hrs ago due to a broken side seal on one rotor.  While it was down I put in higher compression 91-94 rotors and counterweights.
