I came up with a trick that worked beautifully. I took a 4" piece of gray 3/4" pvc tubing and split it in half on my bandsaw. I then placed duct tape on the inside of the two cut pieces. The duct tape adds a none slip feature. I put the two halves around the push rod shroud and with a pair of pliers clamped the two halves and rotated the shroud until the springs snapped into the notches. The long end of the spring with the hole rested against the case and kept it from rotating. The Lycoming manual just says to rotate the shroud until the spring notch locks into place. Easier said than done. Thanks for all the replies.

I am replacing the #4 push rod exhaust tube on my IO360-A3B6 due to oil cooler baffle cutting into the tube. Easy to remove the 2 springs at the case part # 15H21201, but I am struggling to rotate the springs into position. Anyone have a trick for doing this? Thanks

Sorry, but the governor has been sold.

I purchased a used bellcrank from BAS. They purchased all the salvage parts from Lasar. The two bearings in the pivot were worn. I tried to remove them with no luck. They must be pressed in or with lock tight. I installed a new bushing and hardware and my left aileron no longer has any slop. Thanks for the replay and yes it is a difficult but doable task.

I have a 78 M20J. The left aileron has a noticable clunk when moved up and down by hand. The right is nice and tight. Turns out the bellcrank bushing and bearings and worn. I have a new bushing and bearings. My question is has anyone removed the bearings from the bellcrank before. I have not been able to find any information on how to remove the bearings. Only other option is to find a good used bellcrank. Thanks Mark

Champion Slick ignition harness part #67P20413 (M4019 LH) and 67P20412 (M4020 RH) 156 hrs since new. Asking $400. Removed from 78 Mooney M20J IO360-A3B6

I put the adhesive tape on the leading edge of my MT 3 blade to protect the metal leading edge. It has held up well for almost 3 years. I talked to MT and they told me what to buy from Aircraft Spruce. Inexpensive insurance. I do love the takeoff and climb performance of the MT. It is also very smooth and removes the rpm/mp restriction I had with the McCauley. When I pull the mixture to idle cutoff the engine just stops rotating be the mass is so much less than a metal prop.

Thanks for the update on the new composite. Weight savings is always a plus.

I have the 3 blade MT prop on my 78 J. I am curious if anyone has performance numbers for the 2 blade blended foil Hartzel prop. Reason I ask is that I am building a Van’s RV-7A. If I buy the Hartzel for my Mooney it would also fit the RV. Then I could decide which prop performs best on the Mooney and put the other on the RV. This gives me an option to experiment. Thanks

Slick 4370 left rotation that I removed from my IO-360- A3B6 with 150 hours since new from Lycoming. Replaced right mag with Electroair electronic ignition. Does not include drive gear. I also have a new slick harness(red) with about 10 hours available separetly. Asking $500

Thanks for the advice. I purchased one of Bob Fields inflatable door seals. It will be interesting to see how well it seals. Mark

Anyone know how to remove the entry door from a 1978 M20J. I would like to remove the door seal and adhesive. Doing so would be much easier on a work surface. Looks like removing the hinge rod, but not sure. Thanks Mark

I have 8 Champion REM 38E plugs I pulled from my Lycoming rebuilt IO-360-A3B6 with 150 hours since new. Cleaned, gapped and resistance checked. I had a set of Tempest fine wire from my A3B6D that I swapped in. $120 plus shipping USPS of $10.50 for small flat rate box or $18 for medium size box.

Champion Slick ignition harness part #67P20413 (M4019 LH) and 67P20412 (M4020 RH) pulled from my Lycoming factory rebuilt IO360-A3B6 with 156 hours since new. These are for 5/8"-24 barrel plugs. I had to switch harness to 3/4"-20 for my fine wire plugs from previous engine. Harness is in excellent condition other than staining from adel clamps. Asking $500 for both plus shipping of $20 for USPS medium flat rate box.
