<DIV><FONT size=2>I flew my YS120 powered Goldberg Extra 300 today for the first
time in over a year. I had to manually free the lifters up and when I opened the
valve cover there was enough clean oil to pour out. I never even bother to run
the engine out. The fuel is Red Max 20% Sport mix. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What you just said is what I have been doing
since the late 80's. I asked the question because three or four people told me
that I am killing my engine's. I replaced my bearings after over 200
flights no rust and just like you said it was to make me feel better. I am
running 25% Cool Power synthetic. Thanks for your help.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Bill,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> You
will get a wide range of opinions on this. The main difference will be
whether or not to use any, and if not, whether or not to run the engine dry.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> I never use after
run, however, performance specialties sell an after run that will not harm
the internals of the engine. DO NOT USE A PETROLEUM BASED PRODUCT OF ANY
KIND.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> I run Cool
Power heli fuel and run the engine dry after flying. I never have replaced
bearings because of need. I have replaced the bearings just to "make me feel
better" but they seemed fine. When I rebuild a YS, the inside is full of
oil, even though I run it dry after flying. When running it dry, only the
part of the fuel that burn will run out, leaving a good bit of oil still in
the engine.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2> Hope this
helps get the thread started, good luck, Terry</FONT></DIV>
