A fellow member’s aircraft in for a check had a cracked cylinder, removed it revealed another problem. Thks George, I’ll post in the trademart. Thought I’d post this for general interest.

Are you asking for a replacement 1-cylinder ? or 2- case ? or 3- complete engine…? (should this be in the TradeMart?) :P
