Oh, the woe on the Super P's: 9RD90 with the rotary exhaust valves and only two Allens on the bottom plates, forced to run on HFO! I remember the discussions between the 2/E and C/E with lots of in-chipping from the two 3/E's regarding when to change over and burn the "precious" (a la Lord of the Rings) MDO. Lots of work, but a good training.
Rgds.
