So I pulled everything down to ready to remove cylinders, then had one of the engine shop guys come help me pull the cylinders for my piston upgrade.
#1 and #2 no problem, pulled #3 and there is a lifter that's chewed up and it would appear that I have an issue with a cam lobe.
This "inexpensive" horsepower upgrade just changed gears.
On a brighter note, it sure will be easier replacing the two studs on the impulse coupled side of my case for my pmag...with the engine off the airplane.
I guess we all get little surprises like this somewhere in our aircraft ownership tenure...
Well, Poop. That's what I said when he showed me. Poop.
