AVBLEND Works in Ways Engine Oil Can't
AvBlend Helps to prevent:
CARBON BUILD-UP
Leaded aviation fuels combined with high operating temperatures create an environment for carbon build-up in the most critical areas of your engine. AvBlend can keep the exhaust guide virtually carbon free and dimensionally correct, while without AvBlend the unprotected guide can have significant carbon. Carbon build-up can cause valve sticking and excessive valve-stem and guide wear that can lead to catastrophic engine failure.
RUST AND CORROSION
Most aircraft owners, quite simply, don't fly their airplanes enough.
These periods of inactivity can cause irreversible rust and corrosion which leads
to premature replacement of expensive internal engine components.
Camshafts in particular may show significant rust and corrosion damage which will result
in premature replacement. A camshaft protected by AvBlend has a good chance of
making it to TBO still within factory limits.
DRY START DAMAGE
After initial start-up, although oil pressure registers on the cockpit gauges, it can take an additional 45 to 120 seconds for oil to reach critical parts of your engine. Starting your engine is the major cause of engine wear.
A piston removed at overhaul often show severe side thrust scoring when AvBlend is not used.
The same piston, when protected by AvBlend, may show almost no side thrust scoring.
