Cav is still down. No major progress recently. I did paint the engine case, and most of the parts are back in Texas. I will need to buy 4 new cylinders, since the old ones were rejected. Again, I think this was too drastic. Those cylinders were working fine. Sure they're old, but they were working fine, were showing no problems (other than one sticky valve) and still have a lot of life in them. I guess I'll list them for sale for use in a power boat engine, just like the crank.
Have to wait for closing before ordering cylinders. Not having a plane is really starting to bother me. I have been getting some time in 1793D and 1177F, so at least I'm staying current.

Here's the accessory case and sump.
