Getting to the finishing stages on my RV-8A, and have question for the knowledgable posters here regarding engine parts. I have a Lycoming O-360A1D that I purchased used for a good price, but it is missing the flywheel/ring gear. I'm trying to buy a replacement, but how do I know what part number to order?
Looking at:
http://www.lycoming.textron.com/utility/global-resources/Lycoming Engines Parts Price List 2012.pdf
I find lots of parts labeled "SUPPORT ASSY-STARTER RING GEAR" for very high prices.
Cheaper is:
http://www.airtecinc.us/aircraft/index.html
which looks like the part on engines I have seen elsewhere. Lots cheaper too.
How can I know what part number I need? Do I need to buy the Lycoming overhaul manual or something?
Thanks for any help you have.
