All,
I've bought a core, and plan to teardown and send out the appropriate parts for the customary inspection/rework/tagging.
What I need to find is the complete list of reference materials required to do the job right. Having built successful automotive engines before, and from the posts I've read, I'm pretty sure I can tackle this one, but still expect to have an A&P look over my shoulder during the build.
From what I've gathered, the following is required:
The current Lyc OH manual, in this case, for the -76 series.
The Lycoming parts catalog for the same.
The Sacr. Sky Ranch Engineering manual
The Mattituck engine build DVD- which isn't for my engine, but should be 80% identical.
Maybe the Sacr. Sky Ranch Mechanics toolbox software.
Hint: if anybody has any of this stuff they are willing to part with . . . I'm interested.
I'd like to have the reference materials before I start to tear down, partly to confirm some things myself, but also to look for the trouble spots.
Special tools are limited, specifically to cylinder base nut wrenches, good torque wrenches, safety wire & tool, and normal tool box stuff.
Materials like sealants and whatnot, I'm not worried about right now - I'm a year, maybe two, from assembly. I think that it's better to have the components, inspected, packed and sealed, in storage, than a complete engine, runout or new. It's also a lot easier to store parts in the house than an engine!
What else can you think of? Thanks,
