Well, now that TCM has been forced by the government to admit manufacturing 
problems with regard to the crankshaft, I believe it is time for all 550 
owners to get together and demand that they also publicly admit 
responsibility for the oil ring problem and pay for its correction.  

If a hundred IV owners visit their booth at OSH and are well-prepared with a 
spokesman and a game plan, they will be forced to offer cylinder rebuilds to 
us with the factory paying for it.

If we continue along as we have, with no organized approach, plan on paying 
for the
$9000 overhaul out of your pocket, as those of us already have.

I suggest that one of the recent  worn out cylinder victims volunteer as the 
engine registrar and information clearing house.  This will give him the 
information he needs, and we can meet at OSH and keep in contact by email.

Any volunteers?

David Jones
