MYTHS AND OLD WIVES' TALES

1. A 182 with a fuel-injected engine has fuel in the cockpit while one with a carbureted engine does not

2. My carbureted 0-520 or 0-550 has a much longer TBO than the stock fuel-injected engine.

3. A fuel injected engine is hard to start.

4. Fuel Injector nozzles cause cracks in the cylinder head.

5. The installation of a carbureted engine is less expensive than the upgrade to a fuel-injected engine.

6. It’s better to modify the engine than the airframe.

7. The 520 or 550 has so much power it really needs the heavy duty engine mount.         Oh ... and we sell the engine mount.
