Cracked C-145 Case

Post by nippaero »

As many of you know I am overhauling my C-145-2H on 80A. DivCo contacted me today with the bad news. They rejected my case because of a non repairable crack near the oil galley of cylinder #4. It had a little over 2200 TT on her. So now I guess the search for a replacement case is on. If anyone has a lead on a suitable C-145 or O-300 case let me know. I would appreciate it.

Thanks!

I have a C-145-2 case. Hasn't been checked out. Pulled it off this summer.
