I'm not certain but I think 530548 is the forging # rather than the crankshaft number. I kinda recall having that cast into a cheek then the part # being etched/stamped in.
I don't see many 4 cyl...

There are a number of wet wing specialists around the country but this should not be beyond most shops/mechanics. It will be a lot of work to address correctly but not a technically difficult job....
When someone turns around in front of the shop and blows stuff everywhere, I still mutter Cannon Ball Run. The youngsters on the crew look at me like I've gone round the bend, no clue what I'm...
I've seen a half dozen oil seals on Lycomings and 1 on an O-300 Cont go missing. I presume all had been split, just really didn't see a way for a solid seal to get away. I have seen a few solid...
I don't profess to be a Super Cub expert and don't do many fabric aircraft theses days but in the San Francisco Bay Area, you can expect to wait 5-6 weeks to get into a shop. I really don't know who...
Lot's of good advice here, I have had a PA-12 and (one at a time) a 206, a Cherokee 6, a few Bonanzas, even a Beaver, and near free use of a 182. Had 2 for perceived maintenance shop needs that I...
They don't specify in the parts books but seem to refer to cylinder #2 in diagram. I checked a 182C that stopped in for a rough mag, it is in #2 but who knows when or who installed it. Likely...
Well, look at that. I did it in spite of myself
I have the parts books, send me a PM and I can send you the page.
I'm not good at managing images and posting. I think there are some issues about publishing the pages in a public manner too in our...
If you can't find a drop in, check with Loree Air in CA, https://www.loreeair.com/
Good people, family owned business that has done beautiful work for me for years. The son and daughter-in-law are...
About 25 years ago a friend stopped by my shop with a picture he had taken over the mid-west farm fields on the way back from Oshkosh in his J-3. It was a a big field with an expertly plowed "FARMING...
A simple check is to access the carb (or injector body) throat (venturi) and take a look visually. I have had multiple Lycomings run intermittently rich over the years simply from a piece if baffle...

Giving it a try.
P.S. They show that as non-returnable and they are buggers about that. Might want to confirm my book skills before getting on the hook.

My books show it as a 0770731-1 (speaker, 180/185 only), Textron shows it as superseded by S4628-1636
Try YingLing if you don't find it elsewhere, Textron has 30+ in stock.
Textron list is $437 ...
Agreed, you might want to tread lightly. You may not get the reception you are hoping for and the owner may be just fine with things how they are. I bought a similar situation PA-12 after 15 years of...
Sitting here in the office this AM in the Continental books with low motivation, so I looked.

Doesn't bother me at all. The shiver was the thought of trying to teach proper gear configuration to a Cirrus driver. I see the product of Cirrus type aircraft every day and they learn the sleek,...
Nothing to do with the topic but as a DOM for a busy Cirrus service center/training center/135 operation, I shivered a little reading the comment on teaching a Cirrus pilot to fly a Carbon Cub. Hats...
Some years ago I had this happen after installing big ol tires on a customers -12. I kinda figured it was holding oil in the rocker box but there was no going back once he had the experience off the...
After having the same experience, more than twice, I now install the Hartzell Plane Power units only with a matched Plane Power ACU and fully rewire with fresh grounds. This has been 100% so far and...
I got mine in a set of mixed drivers that I bought for all the Torx bits it had. Not that I was smart, just lucky. I think I got the set from Matco, had a real nice mini hex ratchet too. I think EDMO...
I just stay in the boat cause I'm not tough at all. I do admit that route with a tour operator is a little lacking in sport when fishing for reds schooled up in a cove but they taste the same to me....
If you are on the Kenai Peninsula, I personally like Talon Air Service just out of Soldotna. We have gone ourselves and sent friends there for bear viewing while you are salmon fishing, boats from...
Believe it or not, you could still find a variant of the Fresno scoop at New Holland dealers up until just a few years ago. Maybe still at older dealerships, under the Ford name from when Ford owned...
