It's good to hear from another A&P.My experience has been with radials and inline and V-type warbird engines that require a lot of maintenance as well as high octane fuel.I'm sure you're familiar with or have seen the purple 115/145 octane performance fuel these planes use.If you don't perform proper runup procedures,it will foul the cylinders-plugs,valves,and bore-with funky poisonous lead.I used to hate it,then I retired.I've found that lead is a better antidetonation additive than it is a valve stem lubricator.What do you think of the Slick 50 type stuff they sell?It aint the DuPont stuff by far!BillJ
