Our 10 has the standard IO-540 D4A5. After reading the stuck exhaust valve posts I've decided my problem is likely an exhaust valve beginning to stick.
I have the McFarlane reamers. (I have the kit for the Lycoming engines, there are other reamers, smaller size). I can't determine which one to use, either the .4995pilot-.5005cut or the .494pilot -.499 cut??
Spent several hours looking a the o/h manuals, parts manuals and called ECi and the engine overhaul facility trying to determine the proper size. They said use the one for the half inch valve. Didn't sound very exact considering the difference in sizes between the two McFarlane reamers is minimal.
Don't want to mess up the guide.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
