That's neat. Often wondered about the effects of that squirt of fuel myself. Duly noted, for when I run into the same problem! :thumbright:

I use 10w40 semi-synth in my 440. Top end gets lubricated through the rocker shafts and I think particularly thick oil has a negative effect in that respect.

Worth going for the prop valve if you can - without it you might experience some interesting effects.
