I wouldn't be nervous.  I just wish someone explained to me that this was t=
he future cost built into (what seemed to be) an expensive new engine; a de=
layed expense prudently detectable with annual inspections, that will be in=
curred over time. 

My plan: The oil venting with open filler seems sensible.  A dehumidifier i=
nside the hanger. Perhaps a crankcase dehumidifier or dessicant system.  I =
wonder if I should change oils from Exxon Elite to a pure mineral oil?

LML Gang,
 
Several of your posts have me nervous about this IV-P that I=E2=80=99m buil=
ding.  Many times, we hear postings about the people having troubles but do=
n=E2=80=99t hear the good stories.  I appreciate Michael piping in about hi=
s better luck with the TSIO-550.
 
Any more of you out there getting good life out of your TSIO-550 engines?
 
Thanks!

I have just over 1100TT on my factory new TSIO 550B- two cylinders hovering=
 at 60 and the rest in the mid 60s. Just put 12 hours on it last week (LOP =
16.5 GPH 28 inch by 2370RPM) and burned barely a quart and it runs smoother=
 and smoother year by year. Most flying FL190-230. Hoping to get another co=
uple hundred before topping it.
