Hello. I've read a bunch, now will reach out here for opinions. I'm looking at a craft with 0-360 with c/s prop. Eng 12 yrs old. Time since new, 400 hrs.
It's lived in GA its life, and has flown regularly. Compressions on all cyclinders are mid 60's. I can't listen for air leaks anywhere, as I'm not there. The checks are performed by an AI. I do have another individ. lined up to do compression ck, boroscope, and oil analysis, of course for a chunk of change. My question to you...what are the odds it needs engine work? They are gonna run it and do another comp. test. This AI states...."those are good readings". (mid 60's) That throws a flag in my mind, questioning the integrity of that AI.
