    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.
  2. Ragsf15e
    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.
  3. Ragsf15e
    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.
  9. Ragsf15e
    And what your ammeter is telling you… look at it on the ground with the engine off and avionics on?
  10. Ragsf15e
    I don’t think it does. I think there’s one specific clamp (M20M maybe?) that has a torque limit.
  11. Ragsf15e
    Yep. I’ll be out there Tuesday to help attach my “new” starter adapter and ill try to get a picture.
  12. Ragsf15e
    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.
  15. Ragsf15e
    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.
  16. Ragsf15e
    My 68f went a little farther than an inch open. Maybe 2”? It let in lots of air, but it was always a bit “creaky” to open and close and that was after Top Gun replaced the piano wire. I always tried to keep it lubed too…. I might start with the door and then the knob to make sure the system isn’t binding at either end.

    Thanks. My TSIO-360 mb/sb only has 220 smoh, but that gives me an idea what it will eventually take for me or (hopefully) the next owner. It’s certainly a chunk of $$ but the 252s are really awesome airplanes.
  18. Ragsf15e
    Definitely. And don’t try to depart from the ramp (sun) after ~10am. Or really anything close to sunrise down where you live!
  19. Ragsf15e
    Yeah that AD is very confusing. It depends on which clamp you have (riveted or spot welded), if you can track the hours on it (it might not be annotated in the forms when it was installed), the number of times it’s torqued, and finally, the exceptions end ~July 17th. you’ll have to read the AD a couple times to be sure, but my mechanic said my new riveted one had no limit… it just replaced a spot welded one with unknown hours that would “expire” on July 17th so I haven’t dug any deeper yet.
  20. Ragsf15e
    try this thread. Discussed pretty thoroughly.
  21. Ragsf15e
    I tend to agree with you about comparing all the accessories between a reman and a field oh. Also the time and work involved with all the different vendors. If the airplane is down anyway, I think id want it completely redone… Do you remember what a tsio-360mb/sb reman cost back then?
  22. Ragsf15e
    Just need to be careful because that version is for the mb/sb engine, but apparently doesn’t fit the earlier versions. It’s a little confusing, but I don’t think there’s a riveted version for earlier ones yet, and their original part is unobtainable…. Although there’s been discussion that the RAM PMA version will work on the early tsio-360s.
  23. Ragsf15e
    You’re on the internet, what do you expect? Im not your librarian.
  24. Ragsf15e
    Brand new fuel line. Bought for 68F but likely fits other years E/Fs. Looks like it might also be for Js. Fuel line from firewall to engine driven pump. Never used, still in box new. $25 plus shipping, or just pm me…
  25. Ragsf15e
    Hopefully they get some support, but I don’t feel like there’s much backing for us “airplane owners with deep pockets” to get the govt to help us avoid fees no matter how onerous the business practices.
