<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Earl I have been running the EFI 1.40 O.S. for
almost 1600 flights going on three years</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can predict Failer of every part on the motor
within about 25 flights,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I never use after run oil, I leave the fuel in the
tank ,don`t run the motor out ,,,I don`t do a thing but put it in the car
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I fly about 700 flights a season and go through 2
rear bearings, never change the front bearing, save once, I Use Coolpower
25%</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>with a 17-3/4+12 APC prop</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> the Stainless might last about 150
flights </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you have to leave the sheilds in the bearing, if
they come with them </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Boca Will not last they will rust no mater what you
do </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the first few runs with the sheilded bearings
are about 200r`s down but after that </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>no problems </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think Dave started using these bearing last year
and he is having the same run times</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>you can get these Bearings from Hobbico, Radio
South, get hold Of Mike Stokes or Tony Stillman if you run into problems finding
them.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>FYI</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone running OS 140 RX, I have hooked up,
thanks to a spare part from Eric Henderson, an FI pressure tap in the
top</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>left bolt hole of the rear cover looking at the
back of the motor, am running a fuel line to a fuel dot which allows injection
of after run</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>directly into crankcase using a Sig glue seringe,
have to open the throttle barrel or move piston to bottom of travel to allow
oil</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to enter case. OS part # 29407300, after 35+
flights using stainless bearing, I disassembled and bearing is as clean as the
day</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I put it in, I will let you know if this helps
the bearing issue with this engine. I feel by not having to turn engine
through compression</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>to distribute, the oil stays in the bearing area
and not in the cylinder or pipe.</FONT></DIV>
