O-360-A1A in M20C?


Recommended Posts

Hello,  I have recently purchased a '63 M20C.  The engine was immediately making metal (brass).  Would an O-360-A1D (carbureted) be a replacement engine for my c model?  Will the prop and accessories fot the same?  The engines I see are from Comanche 180's. I do not see any viable uses A1D engines for sale.  I am trying to keep the costs low as I just bought the airplane.  Thank you so much for looking.

Find a good A&P and talk about the possibility of doing a user-assist tear-down and overhaul. I have done it MANY times and enjoyed the process.  Last overhaul was done for a very reasonable price... FAR less than the big shops and just as good end product.  I have ZERO reservations doing field overhauls.

Compared to car, bike, boat engines these airplane engines are pretty simple with very sloppy tolerances.
