I have a 950 sn engine that has been sitting for several years. The engine looks good on the outside but who knows about the inside. I am planning on going through the engine and am thinking about rebuilding it at the same time. The question I have is with all of the engine and taxi tests to come, am I making a mistake in hanging a new engine on my airplane or would I be better off to run it the way it is and rebuild it later? Will I have overheating and break in issues? The engine is an 0320 E2G and currently has no carburetor or mags. I also want to know more about fuel injection and electronic ignition possibilities for this engine. I definitely do not want a hangar queen and will sacrifice a little power for something a little less temperamental. Any input is greatly appreciated! Randy L.
