My engine is the O-290D. I got a great deal on two of them one with a galled crank the other with a flat lobe on it's cam. The one I am planning on using has 1300 totals hours 165 since major. It's the one that has the flat cam lobe. Anyway I am sure that through the rebuild process I will have numerous questions and concerns. The first one I have is with the accessory case. Both of mine came out of Pacers and are not machined for a fuel pump. Being a machinist by trade I can mill and tap it. My question does anyone have a case with the machined surface that would be kind enough to measure the thickness so I can cut mine to the proper depth. It seems that from what I have read the O-290 O-235 and O-320 used the same case. > Thanks > Jon B. > > > > Hotmail(r) has ever-growing storage! Don't worry about storage limits.
