I just did my Lycoming 0-235 and had to buy new pistons, wrist pins, and rings separately. That brings it up to about$1300-plus per cylinder. You will need to have rockers re-certified. and may need new push-rods. A good new gasket set will be about $100. It is worth doing right. My new Coupe is like a rocket. Hate to be bearer of bad news, but you need to plan on this.

These include just about everything. You may want to upgrade to no-blow exhaust gaskets. They include an already completed 337 for the valve rotator upgrade. The cylinder baffling is an origami...takes a bit to get it back right. I would plan on 3-5 days to remove and install new cylinders. Find a A&P to supervise your work. Get the continental Cylinder wrenches, an overhaul manual and go to town. mitch -- Learn2fly www.chickashawings. com http://www.myspace. com/pianomitch
