[John Ferrell]

I bought an airplane & engine from the Russian team at the Pensacola Worlds
a while back. I eventually sold the airplane without the engine. The engine
(YS140FZ) shows signs of a desparate attempt to fix an air leak. It has
spots of JB weld(?) here & there. When it is idling, the sound is unstable.
The speed variation is not measurable with my tach.

I choose to ignore te problem because it runs as well or perhaps better than
any of my other YSFZ140's!

A piston/liner might fix it, but it will take more than the current symptom
to get me to open it!
