TOO MANY PROBLEMS. Some have fittings for remote oil filter some do not. Getting Rings and Pistons are expensive. I never tried for cylinders but I would guess they aren't cheep either. The Valve setting is MANUAL not Hydraulic. Barry On Thu, Sep 9, 2010 at 6:45 PM, robisons wrote: > robisons@mattoonillinois.org> > > Were the engines running when the props hit do you know?

Go to Gibson for chromed cylinders for the O-290. But, I agree. I'd steer away from the 290 because of the previously stated issues. ____________________________________________________________ Compare Life Ins Rates Protect Your Family Today for under $1/day.
