Did someone mention "Seafoam"? It's a combination of Klotz synthetic 

oil (50:1) and the Seafoam. I just inspected the pistons, rings, and 

cylinders this past weekend. They look great. It's good for another 

flying season.

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
