Prop Gurus,



I recently installed a 58-57 diam/pitch prop on my continental 0-200-A

engine (601HD).  After running the engine (the engine ran fine-sounded

great), I noticed a small gap between the rear of the wood prop hub and

the front of the crankshaft flange.  The gap was about .02"  I think the

crankshaft flange radius isn't matching the wood prop's radius.  



Has anyone run into this problem?  Is this a problem (the engine seemed

to run just fine- no problems on the first run with the new prop)?  Is

there a fix to this problem?



Thanks,



~Nick

First off, I'm not a prop guru. 



What's the tracking look like? The blade tips should probably be within 1/8

inch of each other. I think I would pull the prop and check to see if there

are signs of it being hung up on something. You might also check both prop

and hub with a straight edge. There shouldn't be any low spots. They need to

be flush together and properly torqued or the prop will shift around while

the engine runs.



Isn't a 58 inch prop kind of small for an o-200?
