    if you do the bladders, get the full 64.

    Just be careful with this guys, I had a client whose oil ring broke and he swallowed up 7 quarts of oil in 40 minutes on one cylinder

    His was a 2005 airplane, it left the factory compliant with the SB. It had riveted clamps, but, still. They needed to be replaced.

    My guess is its gonna be 800$ to ship that on a pallet, each way. Freight is obscene now. I just ate 189$ for a pair of magnetos from Virginia to Montana 2nd day.

    The Gi275 is pretty nice. We pulled out an 830 from our plane and installed this thing.

    Shipping that stuff is almost as expensive as flying the plane there. Also, if its damaged dont bet on the USP "insurance" paying anything near what it should.

    as long as you have a sophisticated amp gauge that is showing around 30A, yes that would work too.

    lifters are garbage in all engines, not just Continentals. But at least you can inspect and swap these.
  9. jetdriven
    This is pretty widespread. We pretty much plan to inspect all the lifters on continentals as part of the prebuy inspection. Alternator too. It’s expensive but a lot cheaper than a whole engine.

    The powerflow does 3 things. All related. It burns more fuel. Makes more power. Runs hotter. We’ve got 3 clients with powerflow systems and all three require a LOT more fuel flow at takeoff power to stay below 415 CHT. 400 usually isn’t achievable. The cardinal guy had his carb rebuilt then re-jetted three times. To the OP I would put some real instrumentation in that plane because you are likely busting redline CHT at 1000’ after takeoff.

    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 I thought those were superseded by one that has the oil hole on the bottom, for both sides.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?
  17. 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.
  22. jetdriven
    The downside is you can be deeming a minor alteration as a major alteration. The definitions are fairly clear.
  23. jetdriven
    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.
