Hi folks
Our SD has a Lycoming 0-435 engine. I have posted here about it before. Well, it was top overhauled 100 hours ago and now is suffering from very low compressions again. For the unfamiliar, the O-435 is a six cyl orphan 195HP engine. Pars are scarce.
Bottom line, we want to swap it for an O-360... or?
My question to the experts is:
What are the not so obvious things to think about? Will the cowling have to be modified? Engine mount? What else?
Thanks
Paul
