Got the terrible news that no one wants to hear when your engine goes in for overhaul…. my crankshaft is cracked and non-repairable. Not sure how that happens as it is a non-prop strike engine but the news is the same from Aircraft Specialties, red tag.
I am now in the market for a yellow-tagged or serviceable crankshaft for a O-200A engine (part number 530182 or 653012). Anybody out there have one stashed away who no longer has a need for it? Thanks for reading.
