    I'd be more interested on the threads of the set screw to see if he used loctite. Can't quite tell in the other picture of its green loctite or oil.

    FFS. I need a new hobby.

    I don't know why but I read it as spring and pin. Not spring pin. The original part was a roll pin that went through the case. That hole for the roll pin was drilled out and tapped for a 3/16 long 10/32 set screw. I honestly like the sound of a roll pin better. But that obviously didn't work...

I'm just not convinced a better stake would have prevented this. With the type of set screw they they used it really wouldn't take much to back out enough to...

    Are you sure the tip actually got sheared off? That was painful to say. Looking at the set screw, as well as the Lycoming SI. To me it doesn't appear the set screw to be sheared...maybe worn down, but I'm not seeing wear marks on the shaft. Looking at the Lycoming diagrams it doesn't appear...

    ******n. I'm sorry Jim. Iirc wasn't the NTSB or FAA really interested in the failure? I'd probably be contacting them and giving an update.

    Magneto overhaul shops

    Have had nothing but good experiences with Steve at Poplar Grove. It might help that my A&P has more of a rapport being so close. They put new valves and seats in one of my cylinders last year and was about 2 weeks. My A&P found a thumbnail size chunk of aluminum in the suction screen of dad's...
