My friend explained to me his theory on why people have had trouble with the engine, which seems to make some sense, but I don't understand all the issues involved well enough to be comfortable explaining it here. Del Rawlins- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I've heard enough of the "theories" and seen enough evidence that I know that I don't need to own a C-175 unless it has an O-360 engine. The C-175 that blew the piston was being piloted by the A&P that is intimately familiar with this plane and how to treat the geared engine. Ditto for his dad and another long time C-175 A&P that helps with repairs, annuals and overhauls. This plane has been "in the family" for many years, but **** still happens with regularity. The damn thing is what it is. g TBO by the book, when it can be made, is too short for me. Barnyard BOb -- -- Richard Lamb http://www.flash.net/~lamb01/ |
