    Oil cooler was new (installed in 2016 I think) with new hoses so getting those flushed. New alternator belt too. I think the important items will be covered…. -Don

    Thankfully everything was in stock and shipped today. Cam and DLC lifters should make this a more reliable engine… new cylinders will be awesome… -Don

    After long discussions with the shop and a very good friend who is an AP/IA, I’m going to do cam, DLC lifters, all new Superior cylinders, new mechanical fuel pump, and IRAN the engine (OH gasket kit). I was very lucky all parts were in stock and should be here in a few days. Shop is in progress with the removal etc. All accessories were already overhauled or replace within the last 200+ hours (mag, SureFly, exhaust), Prop/Governor IRAN/reseal 200 hrs ago. Alternator’s oh 200 hrs ago so not a lot left there. Fine wire plugs with 250 hrs, new harnesses when mags/SureFly done… won’t have to wait long since the shop is on it… -Don

    Me too but it may be a blessing to have caught it really early… -Don

    Yep, pulled #4 to replace it since borescope showed rough cylinder…then found that… (autocorrect….:o( -Don

    Pics of cam/lifters, really surprised after -70 engine hours since last year’s annual… -Don

    750 since IRAN, 2100 since official OH, it’s running great. I was thinking CAM and DLC lifters. Bottom was completely rebuilt. -Don

    Yep, I agree… -Don

    Got BAD NEWs today -- cam is spalled -- not sure what happened but that sure didn't enter into the equation! Now, while I have some funds saved, I now need to go the OH route -- totally sucks but what can one do? -Don

    Yep, same one I was looking at! -Don

    I have a yoke clock and a bracket in mind. I ran a PTT to where the PC button was but not sure if there is more room for a wire. -Don

    Bumping and adding a couple more pics

    I don’t recall seeing one but if not that is an inexpensive item that the shop will have. Like AP on/off or circuit breaker - I don’t see in the kit but is often a shop item… -Don

    Yes it’s just the aluminum adapter that is part of the Duncan STC installation documents. -Don

    For those curious -- here are the contents in the box from Duncan -- I did email them to see how I get the STC Certification page (from them or Bendix) -- even though the invoice and docs show STC payment:

    My old B had the push/pull switch vs yoke button… I changed yokes out on my C and may still have the button. Let me know and I’ll look for it… is for older style yokes. -Don

    Got my FedEx tracking # and should have the Autopilot kit by this Saturday! Based on that, I'm guessing there isn't any supply chain/delays when ordering! -Don

    The aerocruze should have a built-in one. GFC500 requires a G5 G5 provides a ‘heading and alt hold’ mode using the bugs when in External mode on the AeroCruze… -Don

    Duncan is shipping my kit out today! For those curious, I purchased the flat pack. The price included a 3% cc fee, $200 STC fee, and sales tax so the total was $7926.77 (~$22 for shipping included). The Garmin GFC500 was priced at $11930.50 ( not including shipping as it depends where it is shipped from) for a 2 axis kit for comparison… The installation price is the same for both per my avionics shop - currently for my plane at around $4500.00 Garmin: $16430.50 installed NOTE: I already have G5 and GNC 355 so that cost is not included. The G5 adds about $4K to $5k more for a single G5. AeroCruze: $12426.77 installed. G5 is optional but I would want it too… Overall, ~$4000 difference -Don

    Duncan is shipping out the autopilot today! Ill take pics of the contents once I get it… -Don
