Hello All,
Something to consider. Overhaul small Continentals yourself, if
and only
if you can find an A&P to supervise. These engines are about as
simple of
an engine that has been made. Auto mechanics are amazed as to the
clearances that these engines have, especially piston to cylinder
clearances.
1. Get a Continental overhaul and parts Manual -
Study
2. Ask around about an A&P who is willing to help - pay him good
when
you are convinced he has what it takes.
3. Tear that little motha apart, clean it up, measure it, send
all parts to an
overhaul facility that specializes in a particular
part that doesn't meet specs.
This may be several different shops. Buy new
parts that are required.
4. Remember that each and every part has to have
documentation, new,
overhauled, within specs or whatever your
A&P requires.
5. This is not a major repair or alteration - no 337's, field
approval, A.I.'s
or any of that, an A&P will do.
6. Put it back together and spend the savings on gas or
radios.
