Does anyone know where to find parts for the tierra 285 engines?


Do you mean "Tiara"? Do you own one of these?



yes sorry, "tiara" and no, but i am assisting someone who has a
comp-air kit plane that has a 285 tiara that dosnt run, we are about
to begin work on it and in the past found that parts are almost
non-existant. I am just looking for a source for parts if available,
if not we may convert it over to another engine, but i would like to
find parts if they are available to atleast get it running and
sellable, it was a float plane until the floats ran away one night, so
now its not much fun anymore anyway:/

That must be the airplane that sat for a long time at the Vintage Flying
Museum in Fort Worth. If that's the one, I would suggest you forget about
getting that airplane running with that engine and convert it to a
different one. Almost everyone that saw that airplane and knew anything
about that engine thought the same thing.
