Good luck with the sale, Nickolas.

I'm curious about the cracked lifter, where was it cracked and any idea why or how? Alan

Lifter was cracked at the top. I was told this can be caused by someone not installing clips when installing the lifter?

Yes the clips retain the socket in the lifter. Old lifters on 65 Continentals did not have the clip groove. I had one come out when changing a cylinder and had to tear the engine down to repair it, on the FSDO managers Champ. Alan

Nice looking airplane!

No mention of avionics and ADSB in or out? Which shop on Long Island is doing your annual?

Only Comm radio TKM MX-11 and KT-78 Transponder. Basic six pack. Skybeacon ADSB out.

Tally-Ho in DXR is doing the annual.

Sold. Thanks to everyone on the forum for the help over the last year of ownership. Great group
