Touchdown! Greaser!
Tom, or anyone,
Like the title says I have an IO-540 that is in annual. The #5 cylinder has the lower plug oil soaked when I pulled the plugs out. Last year is was the same thing. Oil consumption is about 1 QT per 8-10 hours.
The engine runs like a top and mag drop is normal, so I know the plug is firing when the engine gets warmed up. It is not sooted up, or heavy black, just wet with oil.
Any ideas on what it is and should I mess with fixing it or just fly it?
Thanks in advance for any comments.
