<DIV>Lean low end and midrange is the likely culprit regarding premature
bearing failure in this engine. Richen these with methods some of the more
knowledgeble among us have described, and watch the bearing life become a
thing of the past and forget about stainless.</DIV>

<DIV>All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It is evident that I had been setting the low end lean. Next time I
fly, I will adjust to get richer low end. I don't think I am running the
engine hot. However, I am going to try to improve cooling and see if
this helps. </DIV>

<DIV>Thanks to all again. I got very good feedback. </DIV>
