several years ago after a complete overhaul..........It was flown less than 20 hours and has not ran or had any long term storage methods done to it.........After hearing the fact that
Lycoming camshafts tend to rust during long periods of nonuse I would like to inspect the cam lobes and the lifters without a complete disassembly if possible...........Help !!
If it was me I would pull the cylinders off the pistons and inspect the cylinder bores. If they are steel cylinders they may have rust pitting. I have done this several times and reused the same rings with no problems.
