Gents,
I thought you might find the following photos interesting.
A friend bought 3 C-150's at a flight school bankruptcy auction. One C-150 was out of annual and had a note in the logbook "rough running engine, alternator removed".
A few months after owning the C-150's my friend decided to start up the C-150 with a replacement alternator. The engine ran rough. He did some initial inspection of the engine and found play between the prop rotation and the accessory rotation. He pulled a cylinder and found the cause of the problem.
It is hard to believe the engine actually ran.
