Hello, I am a newbie to RV's, just bought me one last month after dreaming about them for over 10 years.
I have many questions, and guess I will show my ignorance first thing.
My RV6A has a 0320E2D high time engine, has great compression in the high 70's, uses hardly no oil, does not leak, and is very clean under the belly.
I have been flying certified planes and engines for the past 20 years and don't claim to know a lot about engines. But, my big question is ..... I keep seeing ad's for engines for sale and they say they are 0320E2D wide deck??????? some say narrow deck????? I don't know which one I have, but will be looking for another engine in the future or overhauling the one I have....... Advise.... please...
I assume I can keep flying even though the engine is past the TBO, I have a current annual and the plane is doing great.
Sorry I am so stupid, but need to learn...
Which engine can I use to replace what I have, I keep seeing .... conical mount????. Naturally if I had build and RV I guess I would be fimilar with these terms but I did NOT, so I am NOT.
Any advise would be appreciated..... Thanks
