My dad and I own a Cessna 175 with a Continental GO-300 engine. When we ran the engine up, we discovered that cylinder #2 isn't functioning properly; its exhaust is cold, running at 200°F, while the other cylinders show exhaust temperatures around 800° to 1000°F and cylinder head temperatures...

SO... was wondering what's going on out there in the maintenance world by those affected with the Continental AD, particularly with SR22's. Service delays getting into the shop, delays for parts, tools, etc.? I'm hoping to get my plan in the shop this month but had to do some hard bargaining to...

Good evening everyone, I have been wanting to ask this question but a lot of people I ask don't have a solid answer and answers tend to vary. The question lies in how to start different sized piston engines and fuel injected vs carbureted. I have flown in many single engine piston aircraft...

Howdy Folks! I have found several threads on here throughout the years about the O-300, but not where all these answers are lumped together. I know very little about them having little experience running or working on them. So tell me what you know! Do you love it or hate it? What are the common...

Anyone wandered over to Continental, EPS, or other manufacturers trying to get diesel/Tet-A engines Certified? If so any news?
