Mine started making metal around 1250 hours...I'd be getting an oil analysis at every oil change just to be sure...

In 2022, I was quoted $64k for a field overhaul w/ new cylinders. With installation, new hoses, turbo O/H, I came out around $84k total. Down time was around 10 months.

I'm based at KPHF, but do not know anyone mobile. I use an on-field mechanic for some stuff or travel to MSC's, if needed.

I’m going through this replacement now…

I had my MP transducer go out on the way back from OSH last week and am looking for a replacement. I can’t find a used transducer to save my life. I have a JPI700, but I have to upgrade to a JPI800 to get MP through the JPI as the 700 does not have it. I’m debating on putting in an EI MP gauge. I have a JPI700 to trade for an 800. What all comes with the JPI800?

I'm currently on 17.7.4 for FF. It's been minor updates since.

I'm looking for a pressure transducer as well for my MP gauge. Mine is an Ametek 0-25 PSI and was told the updated one is a Kulite as Ametek is no longer available. Any leads on one? Dustin

Yes, I took this on the ground and not actually flying…location/plane will show on the top profile.

Here’s what it looks like…

I have FF beta and just downloaded it with the Dynamic Procedures. Hopefully tomorrow I can go knock out an approach or two and try it out before I make the trek on up to Oshkosh.

Alex....say it isn't so... so, what's next on the horizon?

ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS lock your baggage door before flight AND give it a tug to ensure it is shut/locked. I'm speaking from personal experience, and have had it happen cruising at 6k... Luckily, mine did not depart the aircraft and the hinge was strong enough to stay on, but it did crinkle up the metal baggage door and have to be reskinned.

I overhauled my Bravo engine about 2 years ago...I'd have to go back and review the logs but my down time I believe was around 8 months. I purchased the cylinders myself. Quote I received in Dec 2022 was $63k with new cylinders, but did not include the turbocharger system and exhaust. I'm about 150-200 hrs since O/H and haven't had any major issues. Had a coil go out in the mag, but sent it back and was covered free of charge under warranty.

I fly from VA to GA to get my oil changed there...should tell ya what I think of them..

I live in VA and fly to GA for my oil changes and TX for my annuals..
