Well I have read about it and now I get to learn all about a stuck exhaust valve on a a-65. During start up when I was pulling the prop through you could tell something wasn't right when the prop wind milled. With professional help, a bore scope and eventually pulling the valve cover it was obviously a stuck exhaust valve and we were not able to free it.
The engine has been pretty easy starting and flawless for the 9 years plus year I have owned it. I would estimate ~200 hours since overhaul, always running 100LL. Unfortunately due to the loss of my father and lots of poor coastal weather I only logged ~16 hours in the past 12 months.
I have limited free time so I would like to get the cub back online as fast as possible. What is the best longest lasting remedy you all would recommend? I was not able to track down a rebuilt chrome cylinder ready to go, but both Gibson and Dons Dream Engines said they would work on it. I am assuming the best approach is to remove and ship it out for overhaul?
Thanks!
