 Barney,
 
 You are right, it has been a great engine for the 190 hours I have
 flown.  Thanks for the tip on Exxon Elite.  I have actually been running
 the Shell but I will switch back.
 
 I would love to hear more about your turbine.  You must be close to
 heaven.
 
 Thanks,
 Bryan Burr

  After this I would not consider using anything other than the new Exon
 Elite oil as it is the best at corrosion protection.  Phillips is by far
 the worst, even Shell is not very good.  You need to run the engine
 atleast once_filtered a week (flying it not just ground running),
 preferrably twice according to the experts.  I believe that most IV's do
 not fly this frequently.
  
  With all the "water" problem you have had, I feel confident that you
 have
 the
 same issue.  So after your rebuild, use Exxon Elite, fly it
 once_filtered or twice a week and you should be fine on all counts.
