My wife has owned this Cub since 2/9/1989. It has been hangered every day since she acquired it.
Our children are grown and out of the house so we are in the process simplifying our lives. Selling her precious Cub is on the agenda.

On 10/27/2011 This engine A 65-8 was disassembled, inspected and reassembled with the recommended replacement parts, all internal components were cleaned, inspected and reconditioned. New bearings, seals & gaskets were replaced. The crankcase was surfaced and line bores, the crankshaft was inspected, corrosion was removed, and the prop shaft was cad plated, a new key was installed in the taper flange.

The cylinders were reconditioned, with correct rings installed. The engine was test run for one hour. The oil was drained and the engine was returned to Hurns Aircraft. The carburetor was sent out (Mikes Metering) for overhaul and reseal. The mags were sent out for bench testing, and were installed, (not overhauled.)

This engine ran perfect on test cell. Please fill with Aero-Shell 100 50 wt. detergent oil before start up.
