I have been using Aeroshell in my M14p since new. Whenever the oil is
changed, I put W100 (NOT W100+, not good on M14p) as summer approaches, I
start adding W120 and when winter returns (I live in Canada) switch to W80.
I had no problem with me engine.

Andre;
The primary problem is the oil you are using. Aeroshell W15W50 is totally
unsuitable for radial engines. Surely you are not using this in the R1340,
if you were you would have exactly the same problem.
If you want a multigrade Phillips X/C 25W60 is the only one - for any
radial. I would not recommend their 20W50 - Not near as bad as W15W50 but
still not adequate.
If not multigrade I would recommend Aeroshell W120 (summer) and W100
(winter - with preheat)
