Can anyone tell me the real deal of the effects of rust building up inside the cylinder walls and engine of a new lycoming YIO-233.
I recently received my new LYC. 233 and read the manual. It states in a short period of time (60 DAYS) even with preservation oil in it that rust will start forming inside the engine if the plane is not flying for a lease an hour an month.
Or you have to do the preservation treatment all over again. The manual states the process of preservation.
I should have the engine running by late winter this year and am a little concerned. You have to tip the engine sideways to get the preservation oil out but can not tip the engine if its installed in the kitfox. It will be 6 months before start up.
Thanks in advance Tom
