Inspection is done it was not that bad only a few squawks total parts outlay
so far $285.00 and $180.00 of that was in spark plugs

Compression

Cyl #1 78/80
Cyl #2 79/80
Cyl #3 78/80
Cyl #4 77/80

Tomorrow is a day of rest Sunday estimating another 5 hours to fix squawks.


1 Bad Spark Plug Totally Dead Not Firing On #3 Lower Also A 41 not a 40



2 EM-41's Replace With REM-40



Starter Bolts Not Safety Tied I Don't know how that was Missed on Pre
Purchase and last Annual?



Froze up pulley on elevator cable guide roller "barring was clogged with
dirt/lint and grit cleaned lubed functions OK!"



Front Strut & Shimmy Damper Needs Oil And Or Air Its a Little Low



Fuel Cap Seals cracking need replacing.



Gasulator drain tube broken & needs replaced



Nut Plate & Seat Rail AD complied with.



4 cowling shock mounts need replacing. 2 have cracks 2 totally broken



This was the forth set of eyes on this bird in 1 year she is getting a lot
of attention.

How'd you isolate this one? Were the plugs worn badly?

Didn't nobody never tell you about Aircraft Spark Plug Service in Van Nuys? $75
would have gotten you a complete set of overhauled plugs for a 4-banger. The
drill is to send them your old plugs immediately after the annual and for about
$50 a set they will overhaul YOUR plugs and send them back yellow-tagged. You
then put them on the shelf for NEXT year's annual.


-Starter Bolts Not Safety Tied I Don't know how that was Missed on Pre

I'd let the IA put the words in the logbook. It appears that English is not
your primary language. See comment later about safety wire.



-Froze up pulley on elevator cable guide roller "barring was clogged with
-dirt/lint and grit cleaned lubed functions OK!"

Too many words. "Elevator cable guide roller bearing (sta 132) frozen.
Cleaned and lubricated bearing. Functional test OK.

Nobody really cares what the bearing was clogged with.

And three of them missed the starter safety wire? Without pulling the manual, I
can't remember whether the starter bolts have lockwashers or whether they
REQUIRE safety wire. Why do you think that safety wire is required?

I didn't want to belabor the obvious. However, one certainly would have
suspected this, would one not?

Paid alittle more than half that ($8 ea.) for a six banger from another.
Will get the contact info if anyone is interested. Can't report on how
well they perform (ordered 12) until they arrive, should be here this
coming week...

Yes please.

No, you paid almost exactly the same. A four-banger is eight plugs, times $8 a
plug, plus postage on ten pounds comes up to about $75.
