Hey Builders,
I just wanted to share some pictures of an IO-360 cylinder with a stuck exhaust valve.
The cylinder was flown on a charter Cessna 172S (AVGAS only). The valve has failed well before TBO.
What do you think?
I'm not super knowledgeable about engines but for me it looks like it was flown with a very rich mixture!?
