Hi Pete,

I've had chrome cylinder overhauls on my IO 360 for the last 15 years in my
Beech Sierra.  I just had a top overhaul done last year and told the guy I
did not want chrome because the rings never seated and it always burned oil
and turned it black.  He convinced me the newer chrome methods are OK.  The
first attempt left me using 1 quart about every 1.5 to 2 hours.  He did it
over and now I get about 1 quart to 2.5 hours.  I've got about 100+ hours on
the second attempt.

Bottom line ---- NEVER AGAIN.  Chrome sucks in my book!!!.

Regards,
John
