    just a follow up re our O200 crank: Aircraft Specialties Services has my case/crank/cam. They sent the case to Crankcase Services and it is being checked for defects. If the case checks ok, then we will probably buy a new crank from Aircraft Specialties. We will probably buy our rings, bearings, etc from them too. If not, we are going to consider other options. Thanks for all the comments. I learned a lot.

    Mario, Sounds OK to me. I don't think anyone could advise you as to purchase the engine or not. I think you are on your own. Dave

    do not archive Hello Mario: A couple things that might help you decide considering your distance are: How long ago was this overhaul done? When was the last time this engine ran? Is there any damage history? To determine the original quality of the overhaul, you might offer to pay a fair amount to have the log books photocopied or scanned, then mailed or emailed to you so you can review the history. The term "major overhaul" is very broad and can be mean anything from one done at the Continental factory to one done on the tailgate of a truck in front of the airplane. Any of the above will lead to more questions. Best of luck, Randy, Las Vegas Subject: Continental-List: I want to buy an A65 but.... > <mario.giacummo@gmail.com> > > Hello, > > I am new in this group, I am building a Pietenpol and I want to buy an A65 > for it; I live at 1100 kms from the actual owneer (I live in Uruguay), so, > what do you think about this engine I am talking to buy?.

    do not archive: What was "nonsense" about the question? You clearly stated: "I do not opretend you decide for me, but it will be comfortable fot me listen" Exchange of advice and opinion is the purpose of these forums? I always thought so. The only dumb question is the one not asked, right?

    Subject: A-65 Tach
    Is there a way to hook up a tachometer to an A-65 without using a mechanical tach? Maybe a tach generator and an electric tach? Any ideas are welcome. Dave

    Would tiny tach fit the bill? I know several who have those. New Standard TT2A Tiny-Tach <http://www.tinytach.com/tinytach/gasoline.php> =99 - Simple to operate - reliable and economical - RPM adjustable from 1 spark per 2 revolutions to 8 sparks per revolution - Faster 1/2 second RPM update time - 0 to 19,999 RPM display - Total run time tracking and recording - Job timer to track and record intervals and then reset to "0" - Single coax cable to carry signal without EMF interference http://www.tinytach.com/tinytach/index.php
