Another airplane on our field with 360 just lost the cam and lifter
last month and it caused big time damage while they piddled around with, "well, lets fly it a while and look at the filter again."... The lifter spalled off chunks shortly after that decision and the pistons picked the debries up on the skirts and scored the cylinders... His 'repair' on a 700 hour engine is now $10K.... Pull a cylinder and borescope the cam... Not a lot of bucks or downtime to do this and you can make an informed decision, not a guess... denny |
