I believe that I have the wrong propeller bushings in my O-360 A1A crankshaft. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize this until I went to mount the propeller. Parts list calls for
4X 72062-s length = .780”
1X 72061-s length = .590
1X 72060-s length = .590
mine are about 0.100” too long when the fly wheel is installed
The way I see it there are 2 options.
1. Install the correct bushing part numbers listed above. Question is can this be done with the engine assembled. I don’t believe I have the required clearance from the back of the crank flange to the engine case to remove and replace.
2. Make a spacer that’s 0.100” thick. I have one that’s 0.250” that I could have someone mill down. Any issues extending the prop out 0.100” further forward? Sealing issues?
Thoughts?
