Infidels, countrymen, Piet enthusiasts,Received some refurbished parts back from Aircraft Engine & Accessoryhttp://www.aea-precision.com/ this week for my A-65 major overhaul and thegent who helped me refurbish my original engine told me that the connecting rod boltsand nuts are a one-time use item. I had forgotten that.Originally I asked Greg at AEA to magnaflux the rod bolts and nuts so I could reuse them andthat is when he told me they never reuse rod bolts on any aircraft engine. Nice to know.I used new rod bolts in my original engine rebuilt but thought I could get away with reusing these.....not a good idea!Mike C.[cid:image001.jpg(at)01D00EF6.8B9F7010]________________________________________________________________________________
