Dan,
When you get back to Denton give me a call at 566-2651 or 382 3150 local. I
live in Denton and would be glad to at least say hi or get an ice tea or
lunch and see your plane.

How old is the "0" in years?
WELL....They were overhauled about the year I graduated from high school!!
The bad news is they were done a long time ago, the good news is they were done
a long time ago!! I have removed all of the cylinders and the blower
housings from both engines and the gearbox from one. They look great inside.
The
cams and followers are new and show no signs of any rust.
One engine looks like an everyday overhaul, remembering this was before
we arbitrarily through our cylinders away. Hence, the jugs are cleaned, fresh
chromed and the pistons have seen service but measure within new overhaul
tolerances. The other engine looks different. The seller commented that he
thought the case was new. It was unpainted. I wasn't sure but upon inspection,
I
believe that not only is the case new, so is the entire articulating group,
crank, rods etc. Remember these were done so long ago that new parts were only
a phone call away. One engine has a metal tag riveted to the gearbox stating
that the engine has 1374TT, 0:00 SMOH. The other say the TT was N/A, 0:00
SMOH These tags were found on all military engines.
So, I have all of the steel cylinder attaching parts (rocker covers,
intake tubes, nuts etc.) at the cad platter getting a fresh gold cad job. I have
all new gaskets from the case out and new intake and oil drain hoses. In
fact, I plan to eliminate the aluminum oil drain hoses from the cyl head and
replace them with a longer rubber hose. The cases will get a fresh coat of Imron
and the cylinders new black high temp paint, like they looked in 1959.
I will also replace all of the installation fluid hoses and scat hoses.
I just 5 hrs ago install all new rubber motor mounts. All in all I am very
pleased with the engines, they should run longer than I will fly triple 2!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!! jb
