Over on the GG they're discussing splitting the original lower cowl at the bottom center rivet line and putting in a new doubler with riv-nuts so that it could be removed in two pieces. I attempted to point them your way if they were looking to upgrade:) Jamey -----Original Message----- From: owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-teamgrumman-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of TeamGrumman@aol.com Sent: Monday, February 13, 2006 11:30 PM Subject: Re: TeamGrumman-List: Re: Cowling Update --> TeamGrumman-List message posted by: TeamGrumman@aol.com In a message dated 2/13/06 10:15:34 PM, jamey@jamescourtney.net writes: > What do you think about my question about cutting open the filter and > straining the oil when we drain it to make extra sure no valve bits > got by the piston?=A0 Is it worth it or are the clean cylinder walls > and unmarred piston rings evidence enough? > I think you have a much great chance of finding pieces in your muffler. If they were small, they went on through. I will cut open your filter. I don't expect to see anything.

Tell them I've also split about 6 cowlings down the middle using the same, or similar technique that Cliff Hanson uses. I'd split yours, but, someone has riveted a hughe doubler to it. Also, your engine mount needs to come off and be stripped and repainted. It's pretty badly corroded and rusty in many places. Time to sell. Gary
