I found a mid time IO360 B1B just pulled has a weldable?? crack in the lower part of the block near the starter motor discovered at last 100hourly.
The engine is an IO-360-B1B, straight valve 180hp compression ratio 8.50:1
The engine was bought new 15-20 years ago has had regular charter hours and last bulk stripped in 2006 it has 1000hrs remaining, compressions are good and it has flown 300hrs in the last year.
Anyone with knowledge of buying used engines or engine repair care to put a price range on it both with and without servicable accessories, Come on have a punt! What would be a reasonable offer knowing its got to be stripped and welded and possible risk of other surprises.
Am I wasteing my time thinking about it for a rv7?
