Don't fly your plane without an engine teardown and magnaflux check for a cracked crank. The chances are very good that your crank is cracked. The factory line is absolute on this. Any prop damage and it's teardown time. I had a gear failure and landed with the engine completely stopped and just the pressure on the two blades that contacted the runway was enough to crack the crank. There was no evident damage to the crank and it dialed out perfect. But the teardown and magnaflux revealed a serious crack that would have caused the prop to depart the plane in the next hour to maybe 10 hours. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
