Line Up and Wait
After 7 months of the plane being down for the longest O-320 overhaul in history I got to fly today. My case failed to meet specs and I was sent the wrong case not once but twice. I was sent the wrong size bearings by the company that overhauled the crank. After it was togather the Cam failed after 25hrs of flight (I went to Fun-N Sun and back). I got a replacement kit and just when I started to get it installed I got a call from the MFG to send the kit back because they were recalling it. I now am going to have a fight to have the MFG pay for the cost of replacing the cam (labor) A new oil pump (damaged from metal going through it) and new bearings. Luckly the crank and cyls were not damaged because the filter caught most (if not all) of the metal.
