Yes but these are bad cranks coming with brand new Lycomings, not cheap
eBay junk.

on an engine that I bought off ebay.It was only 720$ Cnd but still ,we
had to literally rebuild that sucker.I might as well have bought a new
one from a manufacturerby the time I got finished it cost me around the
same amount of money.Crazy baby!

So much for the rumor that only Corvair engines have crankshaft
problems:

You would think that when you fork over $25,000 to $40,000 for a stinkin
engine they could verify that the crankshaft is good.

Hello to all:
I'm the new owner of N920Y built by Don Hicks in Alabama. And I have a
question to all that have Model A engines. What is your starting
procedure, for I'm having a little problem when it comes to starting
this engine. I do thank you for your time.

Congratulations Chet! I never saw the plane but did work with Don at Sun N Fun,
he did good work.
Sorry I Can't help you with starting the Model A, I'm still in the learning curve
starting the A 65 on my GN-1. The bendix mags are non impulse.

Welcome Chet
Congradulations! I also worked with Don at Sun n Fun, he was a great
guy and meticulous in his building. The next time you watch the movie
"PT109" look for him as one of the PT boat crew in the movie. I don't
know which one, but I've heard the stories more than once. He also
served on a PT boat in WWII.
Sorry, I can't help with the Ford question though.
Dick N.
