| Subject: | Continental crankshaft for sale? |
If anyone is interested, I have a crankshaft out of my Continental A-80
engine that I might sell. I recently purchased a fresh yellow tag crank for my
engine.
I had my "old" crank inspected at the same shop I bought my yellow tag crank.
The crankshaft I bought a few weeks back is M020 and I was advised my "old"
crankshaft needs to be turned down M020 as well (regrind to .020 under) and
then polished and re-nitrided. This process will make it as good as the
crankshaft I recently purchased. I paid $100 to have the "old" crankshaft inspected
and
magnafluxed.
I think these crankshafts fit the A-65 and A-75 in addition to the A-80.
I can sell the crankshaft outright, or have it turned down, polished,
nitrided and yellow tagged by a certified repair shop if someone is really
interested. These things are bulky and heavy and I suspect crating and shipping
might
run close to $100.
A good place to buy crankshaft bearings is Aircraft Specialties of Tulsa. If
your small Continental engine case needs work, I've had great service the past
10 years with DivCo in Tulsa.
I'd recommend that anyone interested first look at Trade-A-Plane for
yellow-tagged crankshafts for the small Continentals, and you'll probably have
a case
of "sticker-shock." I'd let mine go for much less than $1,800 I found in one
advertisement.
Thanks,
