If you do run 38.5" MP on takeoff, then you will need much more fuel flow than the 42.x gph TCM recommondations and should be closer to 50gph. (if you indeed have the higher compression pistons).

Ronald,
If your Performance engine has 8.5:1 compression pistons which= it must if you are saying you have 400HP, then I would caution against runn= ing 38.5" MP at takeoff, and running at 29" where you say you are running wi= ll be more equivalent to a stantard TSIO550 running 32" MP. If y= ou do run 38.5" MP on takeoff, then you will need much more fuel flow than t= he 42.x gph TCM recommondations and should be closer to 50gph. &n= bsp; (if you indeed have the higher compression pistons). A standard T= SIO550 has 7.5:1 pistons.

We do not know the cause, it is already bad enough that it did on a so called rebuilt engine with superior parts.......yeah right (my opinion) When I finally had someone on the phone, he told me that the bolts must have had a gas bubble in it.....sure...and micky mouse lives in Orlando LOL= You can see I am really upset with them, so I better shut my mouth, but if = someone is asking I will talk and telling them my opinion. If you already purchased an engine from them, go to a real shop and let them take the engine apart LOL The 4p or the legacy are no planes to have a failing engine on. (unless you are carrying a parachute LOL)
