Welcome aboard M.B

A couple of Photos and a price may be helpful for a pilot that is just starting to look...

Best regards,

Thanks for the note. I've attached several photos and data.

Wow that paint is fantastic.

Unrelated, but the spinner to cowling alignment looks to be drooping a little.

[m.bussey]

Thanks for the post. Hmmm...not sure about spinner to cowling alignment. It looks right in real life. Still, will take another look...

My engine is sitting low as well; it's getting shimmed later this week during annual. Nice looking J; I assume the lab in the back is part if the deal???

[m.bussey]

Ah, understand the comment on engine placement. I'll look into that and update my post when I have more info. 'er, no, the lab stays on the ground.

Any Updates on the engine placement? Or was it a red herring?

[m.bussey]

Red herring as it turns out. I checked with the mechanic when I went over to pick the plane up after some service. The prop hangs slightly when the engine is off, but is straight when running (and indeed it is...I checked). The engine mounts, type and design, are apparently the key here. Sorry I don't recall all of the technical details, which my mechanic happily lectured me on in some detail, but my takeaway was that our engine mounts are in good condition and correctly installed. The mechanic showed me some other aircraft, including his Cessna T-210,  in the hangar with the same type of mounts and the same "drooping" of the prop. And he showed me one where the mounts were about to be replaced. Two different situations.

[carusoam]

Always good to check...

My C broke the lower weld on the engine mount.  The engine was essentially held to the plane with three bolts instead of four.

some days the prop hung low, others it looked just right.  Depending on how the mount hung up on the small metal block on the firewall. All four bolts looked good.

It just didn't seem right.  Taking it to the MSC sounded like a good idea.  Another trip without knowing what was really going on.

That was it's last trip with me...

Best regards,

Look for evidence to see if there is wear on the lower cowl from the muffler.  That may indicate whether the engine is truly sagging a bit.  Alternatively most of our J cowls ride up a little bit in flight or can be not quite flush when reinstalled.  

Anthony disclaimer goes here.
