We roll them ona sheet of glass to make sure. The cylinder will have to be pulled for the pushrod tube changeout. You would think that you could just loosen the cylinder and pull it part way but with an engine that is old, the oring seal at the cylinder base will be hard an unable to reseal so cylinder should be pulled. It is a good idea anyway since you can then look at all the lifter faces and cam lobes as well as look at the cylinder bore. The engine probably took damage sitting around a shop. Chris -----Original Message----- From: owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-pietenpol-list-server@matronics.com]On Behalf Of Bert Conoly Subject: Pietenpol-List: A-65 question --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Bert Conoly" Pietheads: I recently bought a used A-65 engine off of Barnstormers. It has been off the airplane for about 6 months because the owner upgraded to a bigger engine - at least that's what the log book (and the seller) says. The only damage I have found is a really bent up pushrod tube and pushrod for the intake valve on Cylinder No 3 (thats front, right). I pulled the valve cover and removed the rocker arm and pushrod. It's definitly bent from a side load not a compression load. The engine turns over fine - no noises - has compression. The pushrod tube looks like it's been bent with something. I wondered if maybe someone had tried to pry the intake manifold off of no 3 and wedged a crow bar or something between the pushrod tube and the manifold and bent the tube. 1) Have ya'lll seen this before? 2) Do you have to pull the jug to re-insert a tube and press it in or why can't you do this with the cylinder on? 3) The push rod is definitly bent, too - can it be bent back by hand? and used. I'm not too cheap. Just curious. I've put some pics on my site.

I have some 5/8" X .066 wall, and I think this will suffice, but I just wanted another oppinion. Chuck Gantzer Wichita KS NX770CG
