I think I read somewhere that AI supersedes FAA.

I'm not a prop guy but, for me, I wouldn't do it the same day it came out of the shop. I would want to give it a few hours to "settle". If it's glass smooth, it may not need balancing.

At 8500 rpm, if that baby shells out, you'll never find all the pieces.

Hold the phone right side up, and you may not need to,

I may have made a bad assumption (is there any other kind?). OP profile says M20E.

According to the Statoflex catalog, 124-3 is about a quarter-inch OD. Yours is smaller?

This is the cool way: https://valvewizard.com/buynow.html but I'm sure several have built their own. Drawings and other design specifications may be more difficult. As infrequently as you will likely use it, why not borrow?

I can hardly believe they would do that!

You might want to read what McFarlane says about "reamers": While using standard reamers to clean valve guides, you probably have noticed that you have some valve guide metal in the reamer flutes afterwards. This metal is cut from the sides of the guide when hard carbon deposits displace the unguided reamer from the original guide hole, or the reamer was not started in alignment with the guide hole. Wavy or gouged guide holes cause premature carbon buildup, poor heat transfer, and early guide hole wear. Prevent damage to your valve guides by using McFarlane Cleaning Reamers! The patented McFarlane cleaning reamers have a pilot the same size as the valve stem. This properly sized pilot forces the reamer cutter to start straight and follow the correct valve stem path through the guide hole. Finally, a tool that is designed for the job! https://www.mcfarlaneaviation.com/products/categories/all-products/tools/valve-guide-cleaning-reamers/?page=551&sort=order_a&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21898364531&gbraid=0AAAAAD9ZxAk8_KfxOWsVrnpwbJ4dLj_El&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIu7Tq9cSgjQMV507_AR0DJBL_EAAYASAAEgKcG_D_BwE

Seems odd that the only reference on the Internet is at The Mooney Flyer web. And if you click the link, it takes you to info about 2024.

You may be thinking of @KLRDMD.

Too true. That made me smile.

Says he has a converter, so I assume it’s a 14 volt airplane with a few 28 volt radios.
