Just a little back story.. Had a loss of power on a touch and go and wound up landing off-field and got the prop in the dirt, so we are having the engine completely torn down..
Just got an email from the engine shop..
Basically.. Our crankshaft & crankcase are REJECTS. Another thing, this engine has a data plate O-320-B3B on it, but apparently the crankcase is NOT correct (B3B is conical - but this had a dyna-focal 1 on it). They cannot build to O-320-B3B spec's with a dyna-focal 1 crankcase. They can build it as experimental engine without a data plate.
Does anyone have any suggestions, advice, etc?
Downsides to an experimental built engine?
Thanks guys..
