Despite the video isn't instructional as you've said, I guess it helps to have an idea about certain things. For example, I never had an idea about how big is a piston and how massive is a cylinder. Very impressive. All the best fellas.
@CliffandJanie almost isn't noticeable missing parts 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. It is obvious that you're a highly skilled mechanic as the removal was fast and easy. All the best for both of you. By the way, your helper is very brave, capable and small, as my baby daughter that is 22 now. Great video.
@@michaelsamson3276 I used to do that before I invested in the exhaust port resurfacer. Also you can use a few thin stainless or cooper exhaust gaskets. No blows exhaust gaskets seal poorly & eventually the exhaust port hole gets larger then the sealing ring on the no blow gasket. You can also get the thick old cooper asbestos gaskets. Use furnace cement instead of Red RTV. Replacing a good cylinder especially with a overhauled one of questionable history is stupid.
@@Nord3202 Have to remember, this is TH-cam and this is meant to be entertaining and show the process for people to understand it. To put all details in would get boring and unnecessarily long. The cylinder that was replaced was an already overhauled one from the right side so not sure its a "stupid" cylinder. Or were you calling me stupid?! Had this cylinder sent out and overhauled. Few parts tested out of tolerance and replaced. Happy with our decision. Thanks for watching! ....does spruce sell that furnace cement?
That was fun to watch For a number of reasons One Is that I grew up in Sayville many years ago lol I have flown in and out of Bayport many times I learned how to fly at a little airport no longer there in Coram I worked for Northfield Aviation also no longer there at Brookhaven and long Island Airways at Islip and I towed Gliders out of brookhaven for Sky Sailors in a citabria 7gcaa all of this was in the late 70s hahaha Anyway I enjoyed your video brought back a lot of good memories
That is amazing! There are so many aviation companies that have operated on Long Island over the years. It's always cool to hear about them, especially at our home airports. Thanks for sharing
Great video, I know I am viewing this late, and the cylinder has likely been sent in as a core. But, if it has not, can you do a video showing how it failed?
You are super knowledgeable and since I don’t know who to ask, I thought i would check TH-cam. I’m trying to sell an o-320 b2b that has been in a nice air hanger for 20 yrs. 20yrs ago it was overhauled, cylinders honed, with new piston and rings. Can you tell about how much I should sell it for? I’m looking to sell on eBay unless you suggest a better place. Any info is very appreciated!
To work on and sign off any work on an airplane you need an Airframe and Powerplant certificate. While an engine is an engine, there are a lot more regulations and paper trails that need to be followed.
Really enjoyed this and all the videos you guys made,Thankx Cliff and Janie!
Thanks Garry!

Thank you! Engine looks pretty wimpy with the cylinder off

Nice job. I have been using Gibson’s cylinders for 20 years+. The only chrome cylinder I will recommend as A&P.
Great company! Missing their 3 day turn arounds though... had the spare delivered 2 weeks ago and hasn't even been inspected yet
@@CliffandJanie what was the turn-around time in total from Gibson?
Very interesting! (and informative)
There are several exhaust port resurfacing grinders that bolt on the rocker cover mount & reface the exhaust port without removing the cylinder.
Not to mention removing the studs and using an angle die grinder with a sanding disk. What you did would be criminal for a regular shop to do.

Awesome Vid guys

Damm, I probably would of of dressed it with a flat file and slapped a new gasket and some Hi temp red on it.
Except we all know that's simply not allowed! Its a temporary fix to an inevitable cylinder change
What exactly was the problem. Please explain in some detail.

If the cylinders boroscope with no rust & you have the log books & AD documentation 12k to 18k depending on the parts replaced.
@@Nord3202 Yep, I was going to say 14K
You had grerat conditions to fly in.
First test flight yes, Janies unexpected water spout not so much!
So can someone who's worked on cars work on these small plane engines too, or do they need certification?
