The TBO of the Wasp Major was about 600 hours when used in commercial
service (Boeing 377). It was notorious for engine fires and it had a
voracious appetite for oil that made it uneconomical for airlines to operate
(each engine on the B-36 required 100 gallons of oil, and often engines had
to be shut down because the oil had ran out).
