• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

Does anyone have a reference on how to properly pickle an O-360? I finally had a chance to take a borescope and look inside the cylinders. They look pretty clean. Maybe a touch of corrosion on one of the piston domes. I had a quick look into the sump with the borescope and was surprised that there is probably less than .5 quart of oil in the sump. Is that normal for a pickled engine? I think this engine has been sitting for a good 35 years. I won’t be firing it up for another year or 2. Anything i should be doing?
