irishpilot Posted March 7, 2016 Author Report Posted March 7, 2016 Hey guys, I want to close the loop on this. The cylinders ended up being unserviceable due to rust. I picked up four low time overhauled cylinders from an engine shop who stands by their work. The engine has 15 hrs of flying now and has 78+ compression on all cylinders and burns 1/2 qt every 4 hrs. The top end overhaul was well worth the time and effort. We ended up flushing the case, internals, rear gears, inspecting and reassembling. I learned a ton from my A&P. Erik and Box Aviation in Montgomery was very patient. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk 1
