List:
I have an opportunity to purchase an 0320-E2D, and have some concerns I would like
to get some advice on.
The enging has a TT of 4000hrs, 1500 SMOH at PennYann. new chorme cylinders were
installed at OH, as well as a new carb, mags, all the "usual" replaced items.
From the log entry at OH, I see no reference to replacement of the camshaft
or crank.
Compressions are 76,79,78 and 76. Owner claims less than 1 qt of oil every 10hrs.
My concern lies with the condition of the camshaft and crank, in so much as the
engine has 4000 hours on it total time. No oil analysis has been done.
What other concerns would you have with such an engine? the current owner states
that it is a strong, smooth running engine. Reason he is selling is for a
power upgrade.
To me this sounds like a great engine for my RV6A. Price is very reasonable and
there is enough time on it prior to another OH to have a few years of fun.
What is your opinion on doing a second OH on such an engine? Pros...cons?
Thanks for the advice in advance.
Regards,
Jeff Orear

This sounds like the kind of engine you should buy cheap, put it on the
airplane and keep your fingers crossed. If it has been run regularly,
it might be fine for at least 500 more hours.
If you really want to inspect the cam and crank, it's relatively
easy to remove a cylinder and look at the condition of the cam and how
clean the engine looks inside. Perhaps you can see if the lifters are
spalling. It's also easy to drive out the plug at the crankshaft
flange and do the SB505 inspection (pitted crank). If the crank is
pitted, you could still re-plug it and use it as is on an experimental
airplane, but you might want to knock the price down even more. There
might be a lot more you can look at. I'm no expert. Just some ideas.

Just because it has alot of hours on it doesnt mean the crank is bad. Im
sure it was checked properly and reground for connecting rods and pistons.
Those compression #'s are great. I cant beleve you get that with that
high 1500hours on it. 1QT every 10 hours is not bad at all.
A high time engine is not bad as long as it was maintained.A trick I always
use is during your run-up lean it out to peak performance then rich it just
a tad and fly it from there, not full rich because the engine runs rich
already, and you are not flyign in standard conditions so why loose HP and
hurt your engine when you can save?
