Thanks Bonz... I'll hold your thoughts...

BTW I ride a rare Honda RC45... only a handful know it's a $27,500 homolgated race bike with headlights... true to its racing intent it sports a tall first gear good for 90mph...

This is my true story that was published in MCN...

That's a really nice bike! Do you ride it somewhat regularly despite the incredible rarity?

LOL, what oil do you run?

Bonz... In fairness to the OP I've started my own thread... so ask away...

As you know most aircraft piston engines are air-cooled, so they tend
to run hot and due to this, they require the use of an ashless oil.
That simply means that when the oil burns, it must burn completely and
not leave any ash behind. Aircraft engines are mostly flat-tappet
engines and they seem to get along just fine without any ZDDP...



The ZDDP is really there for when the oil's viscosity can't do the job. Aircraft engines use high viscosity oils. They also have relatively low valve spring pressure and very large tappets.

Also aircraft cam and lifter failure is very common. My engine at 1700 hours TTSN.

I agree Internal corrosion is very common among aircraft engines... Mercy!!! they don't wear out as much as they rust out...

Quote engineers at Aeroshell

"In recent years utilization of piston engine aircraft has decreased, resulting in the aircraft
spending more time on the ground. This led to an increase in corrosion being seen inside the
engine. In order to combat this, AeroShell Oil W 15W-50 was further upgraded in 1993 to
include a very effective anti-corrosion additive package."
