A buddy of mine who has his own plane sent this link to me knowing I would find it interesting due to the great similarities between air-cooled aviation engines and the ones in our cars.
It is long, but very informative. Touches on burnt valves, cylinder/case cracks, etc. Teaser - the first 15 minutes or so explains why compression tests are close to worthless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NnOYvOlMB8 |

On the surface, aviation engines are far different in that if they fail, things fall from the sky and kill people. However, the vast majority of what is covered in the video is applicable to our engines.

You forgot the exceptional skill and cunning of the pilots and their God like ability to fly a bird made of metal through the sky Is that what you meant Elloit? |
