Hello Thomas,
Jamon Pruitt just had his overhauled and might be a good resource for how that went.

Some thoughts given the age of the engine and my experience:
My C model had a 72 Factory reman IO-520. It crapped the bed 6 years ago with a lite case and non-VAR crankshaft-the most logical solution was a factory reman. Not sure what the 73 looks like but a R&R with a factory reman is probably $55-60K if not higher if you do a prop IRAN,…[Read more]

Looks like a good bird. If you guys pass let me know. I think your pricing logic makes sense.

Thanks Rocky. I hope it goes to someone who intends to get her flying again. They are too nice, and too rare, to be rotting away.

Rocky-is there a link for this bird? I would love to at least check it out. Is it an estate auction?

We adjusted low Pitch stop to maximum but no RPM rise. The linkage itself is quite simple to a adjust, but that is not the problem. I will measure the low pitch angle to check for a wear of the propeller. Last overhaul was 2009 and last maintenance was 2020, lubricaction of the hub.
A month before my Mitchell tach showed a malfunction, an…[Read more]

I have the same problem, but my A&P thinks it is related to the linkage to the governor. Like it is not long enough to get that extra 100 RPM and will need some modification. I am going to address over the winter.

Thomas,
I was having the same issue with N430DP this summer. I had it removed and sent to the prop shop for bench testing and had the springs replaced. They ran it for 2 hours on the bench with no issues, but I’m still only reaching 2600 RPM on takeoff.

Well, that was not my intent, but glad you did not spend money on something that was not approved.
I saw the note on your exhaust valve. That’s THE reason for borescopes.

Howdy from Germany,

My engine is am Continental remanufacture from 1993 with about 550 hours on it.
There seems to be a problem with this rotators and I suggest that you have a good look at yours valves, especcially if…[Read more] -

Hi Ed, do you see the hole in my foot? I almost shot me one…
No STC for our airplanes and no EASA Approval either. I will have to have him overhauled.Thanks for pointing my nose to this minor bureaucratic problem…
Thomas.
