Well Folks, All the easy fixes have been tested/applied and the oil temp still goes beyond redline in no time flat (20-25 minutes in flight). Haven't run in on the ground long enough yet to see how long that takes to redline, but I don't think it really matters. Anyway, the A&P says it is time to start tearing into the engine to locate the problem. I have no idea as to what actions he should take first, second, third... to look for the least expensive cost fix all the way to a major overhaul. Any ideas would be apppreciated. ALso, what is the conventional thinking on going with an engine replacement vs. teardown and overhaul of my engine. Folks have told me there are refurbished C-75's around for $6,000 to $8,000 as to where a top will run me at least $4,500 and a major at least $8,000 to $12,000. I am going to make some phone calls starting tomorrow to verify the availability of C-75's. Are these costs in the bounds of your own experiences? Anyway, I know I have been asking alot lately, but would like to ask for opinions, advice, and information from those who have been where I am now. I am definitely going down a road that "I" have not been before.
