Just to be on the safe side you should remove them and send them to me for safe disposal. I can ensure that they’re properly taken care of J

Lynn—

                I have a 13B NA which has previously been converted to propane by Rotary International Enterprises (?) and has to be reconverted to mogas/avgas.   It allegedly has 17 hours of runtime on it and also was claimed to have been rebuilt using “ceramic seals”.  When we do a tear down on it for inspection, at the risk of sounding totally naïve, how do we ascertain that it truly does have ceramic seals on it and would you recommend that we simply just go ahead and replace them with more traditional seals regardless?  (Comments from not only you but also anyone else would be greatly appreciated.)
