I flew into Camarillo in 93 to visit Rich's shop prior to purchasing my kit. I was also there in 97 or early 98, Rich was rebuilding the IO-240, and I made templates of his baffling in order to build mine. It's a nice airport. Hope you have a good trip!

You have a place to "crash" for a night or two. OK, maybe not "crash" but spend a night or two.

Is there anything he should be looking for or wary about with this engine?

Tim Yoder" Subject: KIS-List: IO-240 Starter FYI for those who have this engine or a light weight TCM starter. Circa 1997. My IO-240 came with a TCM starter, Part # 654046 E. It failed at 475 hours. I had been told by a TCM tech. that even though it had a Cont tag on it, it was really made by B&C. I called B&C and made arrangements to send it to them for repair. After they received it the called to advise me that it was not one of theirs but a knockoff that Cont. had made. B&C didn't think that Cont. would repair theirs anymore. I did not check with Cont. because I decided I wanted one of B&C's. They sent me a new one and my old one at no shipping charge. In a side by side comparison, the B&C starter is much better built. There was a dramatic improvement in prop rotation speed by the starter.
