We pulled the engine back off and verified all parts, installation, torque numbers........we reinstalled the engine with a “keep it as far forward as possible” goal. We gain enough space for the quick drain to work, but there is minimal clearance. It appears, as ghostfly said in an earlier post, “th...

George, they replaced both halves, the sump is mine. The engine mount was not altered, just cleaned up while remaining on the airframe. The new engine fit back into the engine mount very easily. If not for the quick drain, we would not have seen this aft shift issue. I have looked through 18 years o...

Bruce, getting measurement is our next steps. Could someone take a few measurements for us? 1. Firewall to the seam created by the engine case and accessory case on the underside of engine. 2. Seam created by the engine case and accessory case to center of back oil drain plug. 3. Firewall to front o...

Update......no solution. We decided to remove the quick drain and go back to original plug and gasket. There is not enough clearance to tighten the plug. Waiting on the engine shop to respond. The engine mount never left the airframe. We did clean it up, primer and paint it. And yes, we replaced all...

As stated, the motor mounts can not be switch. The engine shop said “there may be a slight geometrically difference than the original engine block. The sump is the same one.” My quick drain is aft 1/2” (+ or -) from where it was before the overhaul. We are going to install the original plug and move...

First, the quick drain had clearance before the rebuild.
New shock mount bushings were installed at the engine shop.
I will check the flange location tomorrow. Just got back in town.

Thank you for your input.

George, it is the back crossbar. See picture.

I just had my O-300A rebuilt. After getting it hung, I notice the clearance on the oil quick drain valve is no longer there. So you can no longer push the quick drain up to lock it open. It appears that the engine is now a little more aft then before. The engine shop did replace the engine case duri...

Joe, I'm looking to upgrade my crushed green velvet interior (not original........lol) that was installed in 1973 and was wondering if you still recommend Bobby Carswell work?

John, I received your package today. It was the correct part. Thank you very much. Gerry

George........yes on local hooch. I'm still looking for a fuse cap. Dick sent me a complete fuse assembly. Unfortunately, it uses a different type cap. A I took a picture, but it is to large to upload. My fuse cap is 1 1/8 inches long and screws into the fuse holder. Not sure Where to go from here. ...

Dick, I mailed the postage check yesterday. Gerry

Thanks again. Did you receive an envelope from me last week?
