Subject: Re: [LML] Teardown and check TSIO550?

Having been there I recommend Barrett (not related to me) in=20
Tulsa.  They have more experience than anyone on rebuilds for Performance En=
gine failures.  You got a lot of hours out of yours.  Mine experienced inter=
nal thrashing from the start.  It ALWAYS ran great!  But oil analysis and oi=
l filter element inspection showed mass aluminum wear internally.  Turned ou=
t to be a cam shaft with chrome repair.  The chrome was flaring off and dest=
roying the aluminum in the case bearings.
