 |
|
Group,
Does anyone know of a CD that walks you through a 50 hour decarbon or inspection. I have 48 hours on my 447 and want to do what I can to keep her running as good as she has so far. Is it possible to have a stuck ring and still have proper compression?

I would not dissasemble the engine at 50 hours, no way. You run a much higher chance of damaging something or putting something back together wrong than having carbon at just 50 hours. It is possible to have carbon and have good compression, but at just 50 hours, it should not be a concern unless you have abused the engine horribly. There are ways to check for carbon by looking in the exhaust port, but its not perfect....
Stick some seafoam in the engine to get rid of what little carbon that might have built up in just 50 hours, and go flying

Forgive the newbie question but what symptoms and problems result from carbon build up? Sticking Rings? Misfires?
Is there a recommended interval to decarbon?
