Mike’s books on aviation engines are very interesting and informative.

The only thing remarkable thing about this story is that none of the 14 pilot operators of this C172 that went  2.5 time tbo had to tweak the cooling system of the Lycoming/ Cessna🤔🤔🤔🤔. They just went out each time and had a nice fly. I think that is what people want. It was also a Gen1 lycoming.

At normal overhaul times the motor is still supposed to be giving close to rated power. Motors are not worn out when TBO is reached. This high hours motor would not rebuild as well as the normal hours engine would. I don't think it proves much and is a bit of a stunt. Engines deteriorate when left idle also. Taxi's do crazy mileages compared to the family sedan because they don't get cold. Nev

From the YouTube description:

"Jul 9, 2022     During this webinar Adrian Eichhorn, the 2016 FAA National Aviation Maintenance Technician of the Year, discusses six methods for monitoring the condition of your piston aircraft engine, including borescope inspection, oil analysis, and digital engine monitor data analysis. He also discusses the strengths and weaknesses of two old standbys: compression testing and oil filter inspection and how compression tests are only part of the story—a smaller part than most owners and mechanics believe."
