I found it to be fine. This started with an instructor making comment that prop did not seem to return to rpm quickly enough. Gov is off for inspection. If it comes back ok, can prop be cleaned internally without disassembly?

Is this sound like an immediate need of repair or can it continue to be flown?

I should have mentioned this before. The prop control is extremely sensitive requiring only about half an inch movement from full forward to bring it back to 2400 rpm. Not sure how that impacts diagnosis.

Thanks for response. Sounds like my mechanic on right path. He also said we need to check for sludge in prop; it's a new to me plane so was really hoping to go a few days before spending more bucks.

It was new when installed in 2003, so ten yrs and 750 hours, recommended tbo is 6yrs.

750 on the gov and, while I probably should, I don't know the brand.

I'm told my hartzell three blade is not returning quickly enough when cycling during run up. I didn't realize the problem but a flight instructor recommended checking it out. Local shop agrees with his assessment. Current plan is to ship gov off for inspection then, depending on outcome...

I suppose a more clear question would be is this log entry sufficient for FAA requirements.

Good question, I think I will end up having to have this work done again to get the log recorded right. The prior mechanic says the work was done, but I'm don't believe the log entry would pass.

Is the phrase "all AD's current" and certification that "inspection IAW annual inspection and found to be airworthy" sufficient log entry to satisfy that a 200 hour recurring AD was performed. Specifically concerned with AD 70-26-04.

Tom, eng was overhauled in 2003, crank was not changed. That was first overhaul. Looking for crank serial number now.

Serial number is not listed but neither do I see any IO 360 E1B's. looks like I'm good to go! Thanks for the info so quickly. I just knew I was reading it wrong and couldn't be fortunate.

Thanks, I thought so but this is a big one.

Is this AD applicable to the IO 360 B1E? It shows up on FAA site when I search AD's by engine, but I don't see this engine listed in the AD itself or MSB 569a.
