I believe that both Continental and Lycoming now suggest that if your engine is 12 years old and still isn't at TBO it's time to overhaul anyway. Your engine is 21 years old and ran without oil pressure. It's probably best to overhaul it before it overhauls you... if you catch my drift ;) At 07:03 PM 6/11/2004, you wrote: >----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any >advice in this forum.]---- > > >Hello all, after planning on flying to Knoxville and >having been registered since March, I have now >developed a no oil pressure situation in my 0-200 on >my A2-A.
