There are a few comments in this month's AOPA Pilot about Franklin engines
in the Stinson 108-3 article. From what I remember it's a mixed bag, those
that keep their seals tight and new don't see any oil leaks, those that
don't will. It also mentioned a rebuilder in Colorado (I think) that sounds
like they have plenty of parts at least for a couple years. The last 220hp
model I saw in an airplane had a puddle of oil under it on the ramp.

I'd like to hear from anyone who has a Franklin 220 h.p., especially in a
172.

Any other comments or rumors, informed or otherwise, fire away.
