Or, if you’re at 10.4gph, go slightly richer very slowly and watch them all rise to see how far from peak you were at 10.4 gph. Obviously don’t do this at higher power settings. Either @Pinecones way or this will ensure you see all are lop at that setting is.

Mine is only ~20 lop on the richest cylinder at that setting, so not a lot past peak (but plenty safe and cool at 65%). That’s why I’m thinking your mp is too low for all to be past peak.

I agree with @Pinecone. My 65% LOP setting is 2350/29” at 10.4gph. 26/2500 seems way too low manifold pressure at 10.4gph to be lop. Are all of them really past peak there? I just did this yesterday and it’s smooth on my engine (sb) with 2 mags, and gamis. My spread is more like 0.2 though.

Was that snow on the wing root??!

Sorry, yes, it’s a realtor sign. Ive seen them cleaning out both hangers over the last few months.

I had similar low readings over the winter, but in the summer I am seeing 180 on the same probe. Yesterday I flew with takeoff temp at 93f and isa +18 up to 10,000’ and my temp was ~180-190 all the way up. Settled around 170 in cruise. I think the oil cooler is very effective in cold temps. (same engine as you)

G&N took about 3 weeks total to gather all the parts, overhaul and send back. Almost everything internal was replaced with new, so total was $4200. Luckily most of the parts were available new with some research and digging, but one gear was advertised as 10 week lead time. They looked at it and said it was serviceable, so reused it. Obviously shaft and spring new as well as most of the other gears. Reinstalled this morning with my mechanic. Took ~3 hours (alternator, intercooler, starter, etc). About to crank it up and leak check, fingers crossed!

looks deserted.

And what your ammeter is telling you… look at it on the ground with the engine off and avionics on?

I don’t think it does. I think there’s one specific clamp (M20M maybe?) that has a torque limit.

Yep. I’ll be out there Tuesday to help attach my “new” starter adapter and ill try to get a picture.

Maybe, but Rocket’s hanger at KSFF looks deserted and has a for sale sign on the front.

This link shows both versions 14v and 28v. Not sure if tge 14v are available, but tgey seem to have existed at some point. https://www.seaerospace.com/sales/product/BendixKing/KX-165?srsltid=AfmBOooIJjJzNpuai_Ihsgz2WLXdFiRDQsAOqOxpGk1GsmvH5pN64exp

That definitely sucks. Here’s a likely unpopular solution… have the current shop do an inspection on your 653332 iaw with the AD. That would be legal until july 17th. In the meantime, find a place willing to use the RAM version which is PMA for your engine, and have it installed there. I suspect the 653332 wont be made anymore but will be superceded by a rivets version like the 650105.

As @Pinecone said, the AD calls out spot welded vs riveted, not specific part numbers. I think the RAM part is welded? It would still be limited if it is.
