As with all engines if you overheat them you do damage the higher the temp the more damage the overheating problems need to be addressed in some cases a lip at the bottom of the engine cowl may be the answer but don't keep flying it and ignoring high temps valve seats are fitted by heating the head they can come out the same way

Having said that, where there is smoke there is fire (and even a forced landing or two) and there is certainly an issue lurking if you don't treat them right ......... although I have been told of schools that have numerous engines go to 1000 hours, even with students climbing our slowly time after circuit after time, and without issues on 2200's. So why is or was that?

I've also kept a close watch for reports in the crash comic on VH registered 3300 engines having troubles and there were bugger all while I was looking. Why aren't these issues showing up there in the VH fleet and forcing the regulator to act if needed?

There is a 200/400/230 type airframe at Tumut with a 914 in it and the owner reported great performance. Oooops ........ sorry P-smacker, that's you isn't it?

Hope this helps.

"I reckon that the smoke, steam and hot-air above that factory comes from:
