Wiring harness security in the engine compartment

Re: Seemingly unrelated troubles

I am beginning to wonder if it could be some sort of antenna interference? Maybe from the hydraulic pump running? I wonder how your antenna wires are running. The only thing wrong with my theory is that you can configure the plane yourself and then reengage auto pilot and it goes away, just some ran...

I am also interested in a remote oil filter mount and location. I do have a good spot on the firewall between my heater can and the starter/avionics relays. Sen...

Engine removal and other to do items

So I pulled the engine at 1100 hours due to piston rings sticking, causing blowby out of the sump. Pulled the first cylinder thinking I could get away with a top overhaul. Nope. Cam shaft was badly pitted. So off to G&N in Illinois for evaluation etc. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240427/2e...
