Re: Resetting odometer to zero after restoration
Michael,
I agree that all is not inspected in most frame off.
In my case I did replace all bearing ,seals and measured parts to new standards.
But as in aviation they do take an old engine at the factory and erase all hours and call it a O time engine.
When I was building engines to race with some of the pro's said they wouldn't use a new engine they preferred the seasoned ones that were heated up and cooled down (ran enough to take a set).
Personally I love to use seasoned parts as I have been bitten with new ones.
I just bought 2 flight tested cylinders today to machine and install on a O-360 Lycoming.
