The intake valve in the #1 Cylindar was sucked in, it swapped ends and punched holes through the #1 piston. When metal was found in the oil filter, the engine was pulled for overhaul (no further investigation has been done.) I got a good deal on another engine and therefore this one was never sent out for overhaul. It is likely a very good candidate for overhaul (or possible repair). The #2 Cylinder was new eight hours ago and the engine was running mineral oil at the time of the failure. I have the #1 Cylinder (future lamp) but it is beyond the point where it could be overhauled and therefore this "Core" is shy one cylinder.
Brian,
I'm still researching the value and going rate for a core like this one. I'm new to this game. Figured I'd post here and give club members first shot if someone could make use of them. My guess is that an A&P could overhaul the components quite easily. Feel free to send me a PM if you have an offer (or some advice).
Thanks
Andrew
