Engine before overhaul

The engine I selected for my project is the Revmaster 2180 CC. I wanted an auto-conversion engine for the project and was initially going for the Corvair application when I found a deal on this engine on Barnstormers. I got the engine from a gentleman in California for a decent price. It had no engine logs or paper-work whatsoever. I was not physically present to inspect the engine, so it was a gamble.


The brief history on the engine has it that this engine was on a project that was ground tested for about 40 hours but never flown. The engine came with a starter, Bendix magneto, alternator, engine mount and exhaust. The engine was ready to go but before I could do anything I needed to check everything.
