 Group,



 I beg to disagree with the following statement:   "If you know 

 anything about these engines you will find that

 everyone just places a new prop on these engines and fly's away."



 Not all prop strikes are the same.  We have been working on the M-14P 

 engines since 1992.  We just completed a teardown and repair on an 

 engine that was purchased under the belief that "a prop strike is a 

 prop strike is a prop strike".  Wrong!  If the engine suffers a sudden 

 stoppage or a severe overspeed condition, it is likely that there is 

 internal damage.  The accessory shaft and its drive gears are not 

 cheap.



 I think it is a dangerous precedent to spread this fallacy to 

 unknowing customers.



 As a consumer,  I would have the logbook translated to discover if 

 there is any descriptive text of the actual prop strike.  If not, 

 buyer beware.



 On another note, we are actively repairing the Russian M-14P engines.  

 We will be performing full overhauls as soon as our test stand is 

 completed.

Jill,



  What are the chances you could post interesting and relevant preventive

maintenance tips, or anything that would help all the M14 folks take better

care of our engines?  I hear 10 different ways to do any given thing on

these things, and think it would be a great value if your experience was

shared... I know it would go a long way in helping me pick who will be

overhauling my M14 or where to get my parts.. 



Thanks



David
