His logic makes more sense than your baseless dismissal.
MMO is light base stock oil with Varsol added. Simplified a little but that's the basic recipe. Got a too-tight valve guide? Thin oil and...

For sticking valves you add MMO to the engine oil. In the gas it helps to prevent lead fouling and deposits. I've added it to avgas off and on for 25 years because I was taught to.
What does this conversion kit include?
I've used Millenniums on my 520 (still have them), had nickel Titans on my old Cub, and now have a complete Superior EX engine with Millenniums for the new...
They are not "TV screens". They are aircraft instruments that display similar information as the steam gauges you prefer but the flat screens present more information better. These flat screens are...
I have a GDL39-3D that talks to both GP and Foreflight. I prefer the Garmin moving map page. I don't like chart views on moving maps. Foreflight's aerial view is nice but requires a cell or wifi...
I have Garmin Pilot and Foreflight subscriptions. Have had both for years. I prefer Foreflight for planning and GP for flying. Garmin Pilot updates charts automatically. When I get app store update...
I've been wondering about the smaller GoPro form factor. This is the first user comment I've read. Thanks for the pirep!
I own two iPad minis (what happens when you change providers). Both are cellular models and both are loaded with Garmin Pilot and Foreflight. I have a GDL39-3D in my plane to enhance the capabilities...
If the new regs don't suit you, stick with the third class process. Your choice. For me, a guy with an SI that requires a specialist physician to do a worksheet every six months and a complete exam...
My first Dynofocal and I need advice. IO-400 Superior engine. What rubber mounts do I need? Who makes the best ones?
Thanks.
Static spark is a very real threat. Grounding has nothing to do with anything here. I drain usable fuel through the gascolater using a hose that runs into a metal fuel can. A bonding wire is attached...
My engine mount after 10+ years.
My airframe. The coating is uniform from sharp edges into coves in welded clusters and into 1/8" channels that were added for side windows. The details of the welds are as crisp as they can be after...
Back to the original question. 40 years on Ceconite? Are you sure it's Ceconite? The OP says cracking and lifting of paint. You need to apply silver to protect the fabric. That's more important than...
Today the fabric cover STCs limit what coatings can be used but that wasn't the case 20 years ago. Lots of planes had Imron applied and as long as it wasn't laid on too thick it worked just fine....
My Cessna gear legs were powder coated 18 years ago. Parked outdoors year-round and operates from gravel exclusively. Looks great. My engine mount was powder coated 13-14 years ago. I chose red....
Chances are it's dope. Look from the inside to see what color the nitrate was. Blue is Randoproof, green is Superflight Dacproofer, and there's an outside chance you'll find pink Stits. Silver is...
Is Sherpa still operating? I'm aware of one horror story about getting a plane out of them.
A good friend built himself a Moose. It's a beast. Probably the best performing 4 place-plus float...
Take a lesson from Cubcrafters. Write an ops manual that limits power and speeds to meet the LSA requirements. Make the gross 1320#. Leave it in E-AB and fly it in the Sport Pilor category.
