| Subject: | For Sale - 4 First Run Millennium O-320 narrow deck cylinders |
--> Glasair-List message posted by: MPPalmer@aol.com
I just did a top overhaul on our Glasair. Lowest cylinder was 70/80
compression, but oil consumption was a quart every 4 hours. (Still acceptable
for
many shops.) To expedite the changeout, decided to buy new cylinders. That means
I have 4 first run Superior Millennium cylinders for sale.
These are narrow deck cylinders for a Lycoming O-320. They have about 1800
gentle hours on them. Very little touch 'n' go cycles, lots of cross country
time, where we started our descents 9 miles out for every thousand feet. We
also had a "rule," - 20 inches at 20 miles. Oil changes every 35 to 40 hours,
with filter. IOW, we babied these jugs. Hottest we ever saw on climbout was #2
at 450 degrees, but after changing the baffling, got it down to 425. Cruise
temps around 325 to 350.
I'm told by everyone I called when I considered overhauling them, that
Millenniums will easily go another 2000 hours. They may only require a rehone
and
new rings. If so, I will supply four 9:1 weight matched pistons with. Or, if
you prefer, I have three 8.5:1 pistons I will include.
I've pulled the valves. They look good to me. Seats also. I can supply
photos if interested and can make some rudimentary measurements for you.
I also have a new ECi exhaust valve that I'll sell separately or include with
the set. Never been used. I nicked it at the top of the stem with a dental
pick when trying to move the keepers. All the mechanics I've shown it to say
it's fine. Also the Overhaul manual allows for 1/16" long nicks... this is
only 1/64" long, maybe 5 thousands deep, and I burnished most of it out with 400
grit production sandpaper. But I'm very conservative and ordered another one
anyway. (My partner is a gal - enough said.)
Will sell the cylinders, with valves, 9:1 pistons and wrist pins (no rocker
arms nor rocker arm covers) separately for $150, or all four for $500 as is.
(You pay shipping.)
The exhaust valve lists new for $135 (not including shipping and tax) - will
sell for $120.
Am based at Phoenix, DVT if you'd like to come by and look for yourself.
Thanks,
Mike Palmer <><

Mike, before you actually let them go get back in
touch with me. Jack
