Magneto Piston Intake Side

Back Home Up Next

This shows considerable scratches and scuffing of the magneto piston on the intake side.  There was almost no carbon buildup.  You can tell I had been running 100LL AVGAS from the tan-white residue on the rings and piston top.   This confirms my choice in Pennzoil 2-cycle for air-cooled oil and Amoco 93 fuel.   The engine had more than 260 hours with no de-carbon when the crankshaft rod bearing let go.
