Lycoming O-145 parts

[Rodney Zapf]

I am looking for parts for Lycoming O-145's.

Does anyone have a source for these?

Thanks,

Rodney

Paul A is a wealth of information and if he has found some Lyc pistons maybe he knows where a head gasket is located.

I doubt if any of it is serviceable, but I have an old mostly rusted O-145 in my mom's basement. What are you looking for? El Reno Aviation in El Reno, Ok had parts some years ago. Don't know about now.

Rodney,
What parts are you having trouble with?

Paul,

He needs a head gasket for now.

Joe,
I posted on another thread. There is a AN 900 that should work. I did a lot of leg work for a customer on this issue. He had a Tcraft BL. We didn't get a chance to use the AN900's because he found some NOS he didn't remember he had. Rodney deserves a gold plated E for effort. Keeping a little Lycoming operational isn't for the faint of heart.

I found the parts I was looking for and they are being shipped at this time. Thank you all for the help. Found the parts through El Reno who passed me off to "Henry".

I have the gaskets necessary to replace the head on my 0-145. I understand the head should be torqued to 300 inch lbs. This can be done quite easily on most of the nuts however it gets a little difficult on the nuts that are between the cylinders. I would also like to re-torque all of the cylinder head nuts to ensure I donot lose another head gasket (some of the nuts on the other cylinders appeared quite loose) It seems that the only way I can reach some of these nuts is by "building" a special wrench (cutting a box-end off at about 2 inches and welding it back together with a 90 degree bend) There must be a better answer for this job.
