Jon, I would leave the alternator up front unless you just can’t stand it. I do have a Plane Power alternator on the rear of my engine, and have had no trouble. The reason that the alt was moved to

Jon, I'm pretty sure that any real tear down is going to require some form of break-in because the cylinders will get a new hone. Continental wants >75% power for first hour and then alternating

Hello, thanks for the replies. I left out a detail that this was a flying Tri-Q200 with ~1,200 hours on the airframe and more on the engine. It’s been well kept, but with the nose gear collapse

Hello everyone, I am sorry to see that I just missed a couple of you at Sun-n-Fun by a day or two, coming in late. Anyway, I found what I was looking for there – some motivation to kick myself into

I use a shorter bushing that brings the engine a little further aft (maybe 1/2") for CG. They've been selling then on eBay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/282357542042 ) for years. First time you use them,

Jerry, check Ebay. Much cheaper The only problem is, you don't know how old they are. I just bought some $16.00 exhaust Blo-Pruf gaskets for $5.00. They look okay. Sam

Agreed. You want 8 of part number 530740. I last ordered a set from A/C Spruce in mid 2013 when they were $16.50 each. I see they are now
