Hello,

Well after starting my condition inspection on our PL-1 this weekend, we 

found that 3 of the 4 jugs are below 60/80 on the compression test. We 

have an 125 hp O-290-G on a conical mount and a fixed pitch prop. We 

would like to replace this engine with a 150 hp O-320-XXX. We're looking 

to keep this as simple as possible so we want to do a replacement 

without redoing the mount, cowling and baffles if possible. I am not an 

engine guy but I have done a little reading in the types of 320's out 

there, but there is entirely to much information for me to understand 

with out some direction from others that know a lot more than me.



Thank for your help!

Carlos in Arizona

Carlos,



I'm interested in an O-290 for an upgrade to my 7ECA Champ.  If you 

decide to replace your engine and want to sell your O-290 please give me 

a call.  I'm local, my plane is at CHD.  My number is 480.326.2172.

Thank you for that Dirk. At least know I know which o320 can use conical 

mounts.
