And this is the corrosion we worry about.... Call this piece "Lycoming's Lament". So that's where all the ferrous metal in the oil filter came from... Quite common camshaft spalling particularly on the lobes driving two lifters. This engine didn't have the usual inactivity and other aggregating factors so was far more of a surprise. Circa 7mm of lost lift on intake valves for cylinders #1 & #2. O-320-D2J Lycoming O-320 - Anchored thru-stud on strike? Wouldn't want to run for long like this! STC'd prop for the 152!!! .... Oh maybe not :-( Air Con compressor catastrophic failure. Wrong time of year! Not seen this before - prolonged cranking causing the battery to protest openly. Still prefer Concorde over Gill.
