Okay, an engine found its way into my hangar (all legal!)
What i know:
-O-470 with all accessories
-not run in 15 years
-not pickeled for long time storage
-lay in the corner of the hangar (not climatized) 100 miles from the coast
-came of Cessna 182 crash landing, engine quit during decent after para-drop.
-engine turns easily by hand
-cylinder walls are corroded
What i don’t know:
-whether the engine was running or not on impact (shockloading?)
-exact engine designation
-history prior incident
-is there a market for this engine?
I don’t have the paperwork.
What i plan on doing:
-check whether the crankshaft ist straight or not
-decide from result if rebuild is worth it or sell parts individually.
What would you do???
