We pulled the engine off last week and it's sitting on a stand slowly leaking tiny drops of oil still clinging to the block. The rest of the airplane is in the hangar looking forlorn. I started removing all the firewall and engine mount paint. I'll repaint it all in high-heat black.
The engine needs some new gaskets. The valves will be checked for clearances -- hopefully they all pass! (Replacements are rare and likely very expensive).
After this round of maintenance I should have a reliable, non-leaky airplane!
