Private airport?

Compression is all high 75+/80 cold. Even with 80 psi in cylinders I get zero bubbles out breather with hose underwater. Will likely be after the holiday but I plan to pull cylinder #2 at least.

It's available for download here: https://vansairforce.net/threads/lycoming-si-1290-for-thru-bolt-leak.191860/#post-1752543 While I suspect stud bolt leaking it may be a different source for the oil leak. If we find a crack in the cylinder I will replace the cylinder. If we find the cylinder...

Yeah, that's a step down regulator. I'm not familiar with the skyox system but I am familiar with pipeline oxygen and yes, 50 psi in the pipeline is typical. Surely skyox has seen this before and has suggestions for connecting to a remote oxygen cylinder. Sans that, the npt fittings I linked...

Looking at that DB guide, it leaves some to be desired regarding details. It appears to describe a system with remote o2 cylinder. From your description it sounds like that is what you want. Understand a remote cylinder needs a pressure reduction regulator at the cylinder. I don't see that...

Don't know if through bolts. I did think of cracking and looked as much as I could without cylinder removed... Did not retourque cylinder 3/4. I am planning on contacting James Ball with Continental this evening. I'm assuming at least that cylinder will need to come off again. I'll ask James...

Yes, I have read this is a concern; thanks for pointing it out. Lycoming service instructon 1290f addresses the exact issue I think I'm having of through stud oil leaking. It's on VAF available for download. Only problem with that service instructon is it applies to wide deck Lycoming; mine...

Thank you for your feedback Dan. I appreciate it. This does appear to be a cylinder through stud leak. Continental service bulletins: https://continental.aero/pma-service-bulletins/ SIL007 https://continental.aero/service-bulletins/pma/sil007.pdf VII. CYLINDER REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION...

Update on my engine since replacing cylinders this year... This summer I replaced cylinders #1 & #2 on my Titan x-340 due to low compression. I installed new Lycoming 05K21423-A cylinders. We've probably put over 50 hour on it now. CHT's initially peaked at 420 but relatively quickly came...

At least look at comps for similar aircraft on Barnstormers, controller, trade a plane, aero trader, etc.

I'd be happy just to find a mechanic.

Tell him take it or leave it. You should be able to get more than 20k I think. Have you advised it on barnstormers or the like?

Quoting for clarity of those who may infer incorrectly, interconnected fire alarms are not internet connected. They are connected to each other but not typically connected to the internet. They are standalone in the sense they aren't online, but they talk to the other units in your home and...

Interconnected was mentioned by @Matthew. They are now required by current code for new construction or remodels. So, I would look for that feature. I think you may silence all interconnected alarms by pressing the button on any of the alarms. Not as convenient as your phone, but if one is...

Sure to be complete, but at this point I would be looking for to be airworthy. Airworthy would only require documentation of last annual within the prescribed timeframe and any AD compliance, correct?

I don't know much about Luscombes but 20k sounds like it's a steal if the plane is airworthy. If it is, then it would have had an annual completed recently. The A&P who completed the annual is likely nearby. I would get a new logbook and ask that A&P to make a notation stating logs were lost...

Free tools, I've received those gifts before.

Whoop-de-do

Tons of them flying. My 235 was built with a o-235. The builder didn't like the poor climb rate and converted to a o-320 at 50 hours on the plane. When the 320 started having trouble I put an o-340 on it. CG is a concern. I have 2 batteries behind the baggage rear bulkhead to get the CG in...

I have a 37 ton log splitter from Northern Tool that had a nylon 2 inch connector to the reservoir. Its threads melted leaking hot hydraulic oil.
