I have an opportunity to place an O-360 A3A on my RV-7. The engine has 600 hours on it since complete rebuild, 2700 total time. It suffered a prop strike and all the appropriate inspections were done. One interesting fact of the rebuild was the crank was replaced with a hollow crank instead of the solid crank of an A3A. Which would suggest it is usable for a CS prop.
I have looked at the logs; all the inspections and ADs have been complied with. I checked the crank serial number and engine serial number against MSB 569 and neither were part of the Lycoming AD. Compressions were in the mid 70s for all cylinders at the last annual in June.
Is there anything I am missing, or should be looking for? Can I put a CS prop on this engine?
Thank you for your time.
