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.

Well the floats did set behind the museum but the plane was hangered
in the T-hangers on the field, Its a comp-air if you know the plane.
