    We installed an SLI tach and they shipped it with the hours requested. It’s got another 800 hours on it since then and it’s deadass.

    nope..well, actually it looks like basic traffic without target trend via A429 but no weather.

    Older rockers, the oil hole on the intake rocker is toward the pushrod (the top) . The exhaust rocker oil hole is toward the valve guide (bottom). I thought those were superseded by one that has the oil hole on the bottom, for both sides.

    Lycoming says 5% or less overspeed, correct the problem. Above 10% more involved things happen. But 2575 * 1.05 is 2703 RPM. So, not as big a thing as it may seem.

    I noticed something with this GI275 EIS engine monitor. Sitting on the ground its 29.4" MP. On takeoff it goes to 30.7. Its ~1" higher than ambient at all altitudes. At shutdown its 29.4" again. Seems like its getting ~1" of MP due to ram effect. Anyone else notice this?

    how coincidental thoise blades were a hair under the limit. Did they make them available for another shop to measure?
  7. jetdriven
    About 5 years ago the shop doing the ECI told me that Hartzell wanted it opened up and inspected. That turned into a painful experience because the blade roots were determined to be "undercut" and the blades were condemned. We wound up buying a new prop (ouch). a lot of prop shops never saw a prop that didnt need an overhaul. I dont see where hartzell tells the shop what to do. But how convenient

    This one?

    The T-9088 door seal is for the M20R and later planes. The proper seal is BA-1608 but Brown Aircraft stopped making it.

    You’re not getting a paint job less than around 20-23k and it’ll be a long wait also.

    I feel the same about avidyne. Then you get locked into off-brand autopilots and aspens. Abs this stuff isn’t really much cheaper. But it’s not as good.

    The downside is you can be deeming a minor alteration as a major alteration. The definitions are fairly clear.

    Sounds like the altitude chamber is faulty

    EZ-Turn fuel line works great on NPT fittings. It used to be called Parker fuel lube.

    We have done two of them but we are in MD. I'm a big fan of the 275 EIS, we removed a JPI830 and installed one in my plane.

    We tried to buy a new WX 500 a couple years ago. We got notified that even though it was in the order catalog, there was no way to order one and then we found out it got sold the Extant, and then we figured out what the scam was.

    Wow. It was 3500$ in April of 2022

    Continental in one of their service letters says to put Molykote assembly, grease on the face of the lifter when you reinstall it

    It depends. A patch job might be something like two grand, with limited results, but a full reseal is something like 15 grand. Long body airplanes, kill the shock discs in a couple or five years no matter what. Meanwhile, a short body airplane can go 20 years. It all depends.

    Absolutely have the prebuy done by someone who knows these planes well and had no possible conflict. Your situation is nothing but conflict. Regardless of perceived reputation, unless you are getting a warranty on this plane. Take it to a different place. If the seller won't let it leave, that says s lot right there, too.

    better is the enemy of good enough... Might as well pull all 4 cylinders then.... Moght as well split the case and do that part too. Putting the right finish on the cylinder wall with a flex hone as long as it's standard size is an acceptable repair. Obviously if it has valve issues or the guides are shot you should fix those, but not just because the cylinder came off
  22. jetdriven
    They kind of all do that

    It soaks into the clutch and messes that up.
  24. jetdriven
    we have a medium grit flex hone that's perfect for these barrels. And often a new piston is just about as easy as cleaning up the old one if it's heavily carboned up. . You can do the job right or you can pass on it.
  25. jetdriven
    Lightly hone the cylinder and put new rings. Check the end gaps. Do the job right
