Assuming your cam and lifters have gone bad -
Maybe if your top ends have all been good including oil consumption, you could go the barnyard repair approach & split the case, replace the main & rod bearings (they are almost certainly going to be contaminated), the cam and followers, and thoroughly flush the oil galleries and crankshaft oil ports before reassembling. Might it even be practical to leave the pistons in the jugs so that you wouldn't have to deglaze and re-ring it? If the engine is equipped with a full flow filter it is possible that even bearing replacement might not be necessary, but if the parts are not that expensve I can't imagine that to be practical. There might be a requirement for $ rod $ bolt $ replacement on any Lycoming di$a$$embly. If it isn't mandatory though it I wouldn't replace them. This assumes the debris hasn't chewed up your oil pump or caused any pistons to score in the bores. No matter what you do, cleaning up the debris is a very important part of whatever you end up doing. This is not an A&P thoughts though..... |
