Pat-

Looks great! Is that a Superior IO-360 I see? With a vertical sump? If so, great choice! :) :) :)

How long have you had your engine? Have you needed to do anything to re-preserve it?

Mike,

It is indeed a Superior IO-360, but with a horizontal induction.

I built the engine at the Superior school last fall, and took delivery in about March. The engine was pickled at Superior, and I have not done anything extra to it. I have not moved the crank yet.
