Ben,
Jack's experience sounds exactly like mine. I also had the FAA do the inspection.
They had me write a similar entry in my logbook. He was aware that I had
done a large amount of the work on the engine too. It's almost like that didn't
even matter. I also didn't have an IA signature.
As a side note. Although these engines are super simple and there are many overhaul
shops out there, the guys that truly know these engines (the small Continentals)
are getting harder and harder to come by. I would encourage anyone that
has access to a mechanic that is very knowledgeable on these engines to soak
up as much info as you can. Learn and understand your engine well. They really
are remarkable little engines.
