Can the stock engine be turbo charge? I live at 8300 Any thing in particular I should inspect in a pre-buy? Thank you Bill ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 04:35:50 PM PST US From: Glen Schweizer Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: piet Hi William. I cant address engine question. However regarding pre buy inspections, in the g.a. World, most mechanics do them as an annual inspection due to liability issues. When an A&P does an annual on a plane the first time it involves full removal of interior, all inspection covers even removal of wing tips if screwed into the wing. Visual inspection of everything on the airframe. Removal of all fairings and cowling. Inspection of all landing gear components lube as required service bearings while youre at it Engine includes oil change and analysis, checking any belts, cooling baffles remove inspect And service plugs check mag timing, leak down test clean and inspect under cowling area Thats the basics. Now lets talk paperwork Based upon an up to date equipment list, serial numbers on various components air worthiness directives are researched for applicability and compliance. After everything is done and squawks fixed an IA certifies airworthiness with a signed log entry. Long story short William. Take this opportunity to inspect every component of this aircraft with your mechanic. With an experimental aircraft, you can only be certified as the mechanic for that specific aircraft if you are the builder so legally your mechanic will have to be involved in a condition inspection any way. Sorry for the long response but this has been my experience. > On Feb 3, 2018, at 2:21 PM, William Geipel wrote: > > > New buyer in the market. > 3 questions: The EA81 Subaru engine, reliable, problem child or?? > > Can the stock engine be turbo charge?
