Well I finally have my 0-320 Lycoming all together and running!
I got it all back together last week but it just would not fire and i was so tired I gave it up for a while.
I went out today and checked the timing again. The right mag was good but I found the left mag was off 180 degrees. I re-timed it and it fired and ran! There was a day between timeing each mag the first time and I guess I turned the prop some showing a friend it had compression!
During my first mag check, I found the left mag has a couple of dead cylinders, so I may have bad plugwires or an old plug bad. I have half new and half old/cleaned. I will buy more new before I fly.
I still have a lot of things left to do but now I can taxi all over the airport in my Pitts S-1. YeeeHaaaaaa.
