  • Hello. I was wondering what weight oil you use in your lycoming. Thanks, Mike

  • @sainthelena1 Hey Mike. I don't own that engine, I just took the video!!☺

  • Hello, Thanks for the advice, I was wondering if I ran without a prop if it would hurt the engine because of balance? Thanks Mike

  • @sainthelena1 I wasn't thinking about that!! I don't know!!☺

  • Hello, I have a lycoming that is ready to start but do not want to start with a propeller on it. Will this hurt my engine if I run for less than a minute? thanks Mike Nieman

  • @sainthelena1 I don't think so Mike, I would imagine you could start any engine for a few minutes without worrying about overheating!! If it worrys you get a few big fans to blow on it!!☺

  • dont ever run without a prop!! this acts like a flywheel and you could over rev the engine ,also you should never run an engine without any load on such as a prop

  • Delo 500 is a good oil for this eng. and do not run it without a prop. I know i built them for many years with my dad.

  • @sainthelena1 I checked you out, pretty cool video. Thanks for checkin' us out!!☺

  • I have a Lycoming r-680-17 that I love so much I bolted to the front of my shop! Check out the install on you tube.Lycoming r-680-17. Love your video! I have pictures
