Default Assembling an A-65 and A&P oversite/inspections?

I'm planning on dissassembling my A-65 and sending the parts out for
inspection and repair/replacement.
I would really like to assemble the engine.
I understand an A&P needs to inspect as I go along.
Can anyone describe at what points I would need to bring the engine to
my A&P for his approval and what would he do? - Mike


Since this is a usenet group for those building their own aircraft, I
assume the engine is going to be installed on a homebuilt. Why do you
need an A&P at all?


OOPS. I forgot I was in homebuilt...

You can do anything you want if you are building the airplane. If you
bought it used and need an A&P to sign off on a annual conditional
inspection, well, good luck.

My advice to the A&P, regardless of the kind of aircraft the engine is
going on, is to demand signed releases of liability from your prospective
widow, orphans, or other potentially bereaved relatives, or to charge you
enough for his services to make it worth the risk. Tell him this advice
comes from a retired lawyer with personal knowledge of similar
situations.


That sort of thing is really worth more than the paper it is printed on?
