Hello,

I am new in this group, I am building a Pietenpol and I want to buy an A65 for it; I live at 1100 kms from the actual owneer (I live in Uruguay), so, what do you think about this engine I am talking to buy?. I found it in Branstorm, I think I will have no problems, but ...... it is a little bit of money and may be some one of you can giv me a little hand chosing one.

The engine is this one (), I talk with the seller (by mail) and its seem to be evrything ok, this is what she said:

>Here are the picture of the A-65.
>The year of the engine is 1943. It has 358 SMOH (hours since major
>overhaul).
>It comes with 3 sets of logbooks. It is ready to bolt on.
>For shipping I would need your address to get a quote.
>Thank you

I do not opretend you decide for me, but it will be comfortable fot me listen a therth voice.

In anyway, thank you.

Mario, Sounds OK to me. I don't think anyone could advise you as to purchase the engine or not. I think you are on your own.

Hello Mario:

A couple things that might help you decide considering your distance are:

How long ago was this overhaul done?

When was the last time this engine ran?

Is there any damage history?

To determine the original quality of the overhaul, you might offer to pay a
fair amount to have the log books photocopied or scanned, then mailed or
emailed to you so you can review the history.

The term "major overhaul" is very broad and can be mean anything from one
done at the Continental factory to one done on the tailgate of a truck in
front of the airplane.

Any of the above will lead to more questions.

Best of luck,

Randy, Las Vegas

What was "nonsense" about the question?

You clearly stated:

"I do not opretend you decide for me, but it will be comfortable fot me
listen"

Exchange of advice and opinion is the purpose of these forums? I always
thought so.

The only dumb question is the one not asked, right?

Regards,

Randy, Las Vegas
