You do not change the prop because it
is still the same 85 HP engine as far as the FAA is concerned. It may turn
out that you may wish to have the current prop repitched to better accept
the stronger engine and I would wait until I had the engine installed and
broken in then would do a static RPM check then you can decide if you are
still with in the limits and if you want more speed and have the static
RPM for it then have the prop repitched, the prop shop can help you with
the math as to how much additional pitch it should need. Others will just
want the added rate of climb and be happy with the prop as it is.
In any case the engine is very much
improved with the STC for the 0-200 parts.
Best regards,

I don't think the STC calls for
a change of the prop.

If it is a 85 you are getting rebuilt you should
look into the 0-200
crank and cylinder replacement won't cost you a
great deal more and you will have a much better engine set up with more
H/P. The 85 crank isn't that
great I know of three of them breaking. You will still
have a so called
C-85 so it won't change your 415 class.

Well, old N99340, after giving me 1 1/2 years of loyal
service, is
going in for the overhaul this weekend. The mechanic says
the
crankshaft end play is too loose, and I had a bit of a
scare with an
odd noise last week, but he's pretty sure it's an accessory.
I don't
want to have to worry about the impending rebuild, so
I'm going to
get it out of the way.
I'm flying her up to Council Bluffs, Iowa, where the shop
will pull
the engine and cart it over to Central Cylinder in Omaha.
Since I'll
be traveling in Europe much of March, this is a good time
for them to
be working on it.
They use Titan cylinders - any comments on those? Anyone
have any
words of wisdom about rebuilds in general or Central Cylinder
in
particular? My mechanic used to run Elliott Beechcraft
up at OMA, and
he speaks very highly of these guys.
I'm going to have the prop overhauled at the same time.
