I looked at this site and I have to admit SOME of his machine work and ideas look really cool. The problem with alot of the cool trick fixes that he has on his site say that they are prototype only and not currently installed in customers engines. This, by itself should tell you that his claims are useless.  Then he goes on to say that the oil pumps on the single cylinder engines do more harm than good, and splash oiling is better.......Hmmm.  To top it off he says that the only way to keep the pressure oiling system working is to change the oil filter every 20 minutes of run time or else it will clog. This guy must really think everyone is stupid! I have seen high time turbo charged Lycomings that were eating themselves apart and making large steel fines, as well as lots of bearing material and tons of carbon in the oil, and the filter was not plugged and bypassing.  ;)
