The latter is an extremely reliable engine, typically providing 2500+ hours of trouble free service in operations normally below 10000'. It makes one wonder what is the reason for all of the TSIO-550 troubles. Is it the added displacement, the operating environment, or the operators, although everyone seems to be having cylinder problems?
