				I have read David Strout's thread
 and I was taught the following
 procedure by a chinese aviation
 professor:
 
 If the engine is cold, after priming
 switch both magnetos on and push
 the starter button.
 
 If the engine is hot, do not test for
 hydraulic lock by turning the prop
 (it could fire) but push the starter
 button and after 4 blades flick the
 magneto switch on both.
 
 To shut down the engine (wait until
 Cyl.-Head-temp is below 150 C), do
 your scavenge run at 2000 rpm for
 30 seconds, retard the throttle to
 1000 rpm, switch off the magnetos
 and while the prop is still turning,
 advance throttle to the fully open
 position.
 
 Now some experienced Pratt
 & Whitney pilots say, to do it
 that way could damage the valves
 and the valve-seats could come
 loose.
 
 So Gentlemen, what is your opinion
 about that matter?
