Aircarft engines are a whole different animal. They are similar, but very different to car engines. They use two plugs per cylinder, they have no emissions systems or cooling system, they are built to more demanding specs. and tolerances, and they run on leaded gas.
The problem with the early aviation synthetics was that they couldn't carry away the lead sludge that forms as a byproduct of combustion. As a result, they had to change the formula to include some "regular" oil that could carry away the lead. Dave |

Hey I'm in bloomfield, nj
I am in Bloomfield NJ - lets get a beer and shoot the $H#&. I have a 92 that I am replacing the alternator on now. Well - tomorrow morning anyway. . . But - shoot me an e-mail if you want. Your right up the road.
I run a silver can of "Stop Leak" I think it's called at Pep Boys that does a pretty good job by the way. It comes in different sizes for 4/6/8 Cyl engines. You put a can in when you change your oil. About 6.00 a can. Hope it helps |

mmmmm, beer!
I hear that there may be an Atlantic City get-together. Maybe we could "convoy" over there with some other locals!

I have used a additive called OMEGA, this additive refreshens all rubber seals it come in contact with in a engine, Manual- ,Auto -gearboxe's ,powersteering and so on.
4% to cure a emergency leak, and 1% otherwise. The only thing is that this additive costs ALOT ... And I don't know if it's avaiable in the US. /Sonny
