Thought I had all the bases covered with that 0 290-D2. Although I bought the plane from an individual, I talked to the fixed base operator, a very reputable person, who had recovered the aircraft and majored the engine.

Problem was lack of use. Sat for too many years without running regularly and even in the dry air of Arizona, rust happens.

And by the way, consumption was about a quart every four hours.  Had to have the crank turned down to its last grinding. Really should have ditched the engine and replaced it with a 150 hp Lyc.
