Hi Chuck, Sorry to hear of another misfortune, but congrats on making an uneventful on-airport landing. Was the last rebuild with new parts, Bruce/Tracy seals? I'm guessing you had a reasonable number of hours on the engine since the last rebuild. Any signs of trouble, or did this just come out of nowhere? It will be interesting to hear what you find when you open it up. As for what to put back on, there are probably more arguments for the Lycoming, than against it. Good luck, Rusty ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01C62FB0.DFE31A70 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
