Repair the GPS/COM and fix the KX155 so it does Glideslope/localiser. Then do lots of flying

Could you tell us more? In what what why did the relationship go bad?

Moisturizer, moisturizer, moisturizer Plus 1% Hydrocortisone ointment (it's better than cream) at night. Cover your eyes like a panda. If it settles then continue the moisturizer Remember what you paid for that advice.

And the problem has reared its head again. 272 hours and just over 2 years on a factory rebuilt O-200 ($29400) I had low compressions on one cylinder. This was pulled, the guide reamed and reseated. Then 3 weeks later and at 323 hours low compression was found on two more cylinders. Oil...

Needs a Rotax putting in it.

PA28-140 Keep it two up and it will do just fine.

The trig TT21 comes with built in altitude encoder.

Pa28-140 fitted with the Rotax 915is

Far better than the 70 year old O-200.

If it's at 2000 hours just don't bother it's will be like new inside. Run it for another 2000 hours at least.

Rotax

Tom Can you use the original fuel guages with those or do they have to be upgraded as well?

Surefly

Why would you not put an oil filter on an engine? I'm amazed and a bit disappointed that a new O-200 doesn't come with one.

Just get a replacement KX-170b. You can pick up pretty clean ones for a few hundred dollars then just slide it. If that solves you COM problem then great. Personally I would also get it wired in as your NAV2 back up. The KX170b is a great radios and it wouldn't be silly money.

Ive got the low down. Its not been stripped yet but they think its the centre main bearing. All the engines displayed the same signs with low oil pressure in the cruise. Out of the green and when up to temperature no more than 20 psi. Then vacating the runway the oil pressure is zero. We...

Tell us more what's the answer? We only switched to 15W50 after 5 engines failing to make TBO

Yes. 2450rpm 25 to 75 F Never preheat. But never really cold Oil pressure always smack in the green - initially Oil temperature oilways spot on normal No oil additives. Either originally aeroshell 80w now aeroshell 15-50w.

My last 6 O-200 have failed to reach TBO all with centre main bearing failure. They fly on average around 450 hours a year. All fitted to C150’s all with Macauley props. Basically the oil pressure drops in the cruise and when hot at idle the oil pressure is next to non existent, In one aircraft...

So these variables does running at a higher rpm and leaning aggressively have any impact? Mogas isn't an option sadly
