Sigh... I'm replacing an engine now with a factory zero time engine. (Where did all the money go?).

The engine I am replacing came from a boneyard and was placed on the airplane with 850 hours plus based on the log. (Removal time was not noted in the log). I have put over 900 more hours on it since hanging in on my baby (The airplane - not Jenny).

Compressions are pretty low all around on this engine. I get an intermittent vibration which I think is coming from the front engine.

We have decided the risks are getting too high to continue operating this engine for an extended time. We will probably put about 20 more hours on the engine before our appointment to replace it (Mar 7, 2005).

I didn't need that money anyway... After all, debt is really better!
