For those who would like to know how it and similar engines go together, pretty interesting.
Thats a number #50 silk thread found in most fabric storesYou're gonna ruin your kimono getting that silk thread.
Try to do the machine work yourself. Do you have a set of micrometers, gear tooth profiles? they did not show you where they plastagauged the crank and rod bearing for proper clearances. magna fluxed the steel parts, did the cleaning for the crack inspections. the reassembly is the easy part.Wow, I never knew they were so simple to rebuild.

It ain't rocket surgery. You open the manual and follow the directions.Wow, I never knew they were so simple to rebuild.
No,, I do not rebuild Lycoming, they require tools and equipment I do not own, or can't borrow.Tom doesn't build them either.
There ya go, but you still must show that the proper and approved procedures were followed. You can't have the mom&pop shop do the rebuild procedure unless they can issue the 8030-3 formsIt ain't rocket surgery. You open the manual and follow the directions.

You really don't need to have any of the those tools, you can send every thing to the machine shops, they will clean, measure every thing.There are a lot of techniques, such as measuring the parts, that are not something you want to try for the first time rebuilding your engine. Lots of specialized tools shown too, but you are right, follow the steps but you still kind of need to know what you are doing.
So you have approval to "rebuild" engines?No,, I do not rebuild Lycoming, they require tools and equipment I do not own, or can't borrow.
But I do rebuild Warner R-500
Any A&P has that approval. I can even do geared engines see FAR 65.So you have approval to "rebuild" engines?
To rebuild? I bet notAny A&P has that approval. I can even do geared engines see FAR 65.85
And why not, rebuild is simply a description of what was done that meets the requirement of the rebuilt engine sign off in FAR 43.2.To rebuild? I bet not
Where does that exclude me from rebuilding any engine?You're not the manufacturer ....keep reading
See 14 CFR 43.3 (J) ......a manufacturer may

Am I right?
