Resurrection of a Lyc O-320 that sat unpickled for 12 years in the aircraft

Never mind - an alternative approach has been selected. Thanks.

Glad it worked out for you. You could always practice engine disassembly / reassembly on your rusted out hulk :)

Editing your original post like that is kinda uncool, leaves people wondering what happened, or even what it was all about in the first place. Posting a reply with the update would have been better.

Sorry to have not handled this inquiry better.

My original post asked basically, What would you do?"

Then, we found a mechanic who had worked on the engine back in the day, and he agreed to inspect it to see what shape it was in.

To make amends for my misbehavior, I will post again with the results of his inspection, and the action plan going forward.
