I'm surprised this topic has not generated more discussion. Product
liability versus practical application effects each of us. (Perhaps
personal liability prevents discourse.) In an ideal world (where I am
wealthy), of course a new crankshaft is the only way to go.
Flying has inherant risk. Minimizing those risks is the pilots' (and
mechanics') duties. Having a powerplant in the best possible condition
makes sense. But, does non-compliance with the mandatory service bulletin
505B warrant automatic crankshaft replacement? I wonder.
We are fortunate the Experimental category allows lattitude in these
decisions. Perhaps the "certified" aircraft owner would be asking these
same questions if the choice was not already made for him by the FARs.
Thanks to Archie and Miles for their comments.

Hi Guys & Gals,
I've got a nice Lycoming O-320 D1A, 200 hours TTSN (total time since new),
with factory carb, mags, and more... asking $16-k to a good home, I'm located
in Coalinga California (middle of the state), I can't seem to get anyone in this
state, everyone who's interested is from "out-of-state". I can deliver within
reason. Give me a call or drop me an email if interested. Thanks,
Chuck
