Naturally, after I ordered my finshing kit for something else completely, a local offer came along out of the blue. The finishing kit for my 8 should be shipping any day now... Looking for advice on an almost "too good to be true" knowing full the moral of that story. Anyway, not having been through this before in any way shape or form and I'm not familiar with the ramifications of "take it apart and have the case repaired or replaced", I'm looking for engine folks who know how much potential money and time this would take. I would pay a pro to do this, obviously, so you can factor that in. How would you repair a case crack anyway? I have a lycoming book at the house which says to avoid the temptation for anyone in the field to offer that as a solution to any engine problem. I consider that a throw away but am really worried about why it would crack in the first place. Something doesn't add up to me. My current finish kit I ordered last year is for a O-360-A1A Here's some details: OK this engine is an 200 HP, Dynafocal mount, and would be type 1mount. The engine has always been here and the maintenance records are here with our IA which would discuss the situation of the engine. If I were to buy the engine I would take it apart and have the case repaired or replaced. I think a good price would be somewhere between 10,000-12,000. A new engine will cost about 32,000 at Van's. Lucky: This engine I am selling for a friend of mine is in his Mooney 201. The first part of march a new engine will be installed. The reason he is replacing the engine is that while doing an Annual on the airplane they found a small crack on the case just forward of #2 cylinder. I looked at it and to be honest I could see the crack, well he wanted to change the engine to one that has two magnetos. The engine has always been here and well taken care of. I would buy it myself if I had an airplane to put into, I might still buy it. Complete log book. The Data is: I0-360-A1B6D - Total time 2691:00 Time since overhaul 660:00 Mattituck with Lycoming new cylinders Parts included: Engine Driven Fuel pump - was replace recently. Engine Fuel Servo - Bendix - forward facing sump Starter Fuel Flow Divider and lines to cylinders, fuel nozzles Magneto - Ignition Harness Prop Governor stainless steel line to nose case Compression Check #1 79/80 #2 79/80 #3 75/80 #4 75/80 Engine has always had oil analysis and full instrumentation on all cylinders. I feel this is good engine and would make a perfect engine for a RV-7 or 8. An engine like this new is very expensive, make me an offer I cannot refuse.
