I'm a little confused. I'm in the process of overhauling a O320D1A for use in my 4 (finishing). For budgetary reasons I'm using a fixed pitch prop for a while, and will change over to constant speed in near future. I understand about the front plug. For constant speed it gets removed. My brand new crank is hollow but there isn't a rear plug installed. When engines are converted to C/S, are they dismantled to install the rear plug? Is this what you all are doing when converting from fixed pitch to C/S? I looked for a Lyco SB on this but couldn't find anything.
