I'm all in favor....matter of fact, I'll seek the first bit of advice. What is the recommended check for blower seal problems? My airplane's engine does not use excessive amounts of oil when operating, but if it sits for two weeks, start up generates a real mess! Do I have a blower seal issue or simply worn valve guides?

Pretty normal. Hope you pull the prop through by hand at least 2 revolutions which is 1 complete cycle of all cylinders.
Stoney has a system you use to keep the fwd sump and lower cylinders clear of oil. It drains into a can you dump in the oil tank when you go fly.

What are the odds that the mods can comb most/many of the previous Texan threads and move them to this new location ... even a little at a time?

And the odds of saying "restoration, maintenance ... and operation"?

I'll work on moving the T-6 threads to the new section...but I need your help!
It takes some time to find and then @ 5-6 steps to move them.
I have done a few already.

If you run across one send me a PM with a link to the thread.

Thanks!

Great Idea, Please feel free to move my restoration thread on the two NA-64 Yales 3456 and 3383 to the new section.

More for Rich...I always pull the prop thru nine blades...the guys here (and I tend to agree) think the issue is more worn valve guides and that a few new cylinders are the cure. Sometimes, by carefully positioning the prop vertically after shutdown, I can minimize the mess on the next start. Any more suggestions?

This is a horrible idea, supported only by those on WIX's Oil Party, and those with an anti-Fairchild agenda. Furthermore, it is biased against all other warbirds, and might possibly have something to do with improper funding sources. I ask Scott and the Mods to lock this thread, as further posting will only continue the turmoil and pain it has caused myself and others on the site.
