I think you will find that almost any DPE can do the test in your 337, they just have to get prior approval to do so from the local FSDO they report into.

Pressure Dump Valves

Every wondered where to get them fixed - try Todd at Precision Electronics Inc. Atlanta, GA - phone (404) 767-4667. They did a good job on mine - good service at a reasonable price for an IRAN.

A thought for you to consider is that CSE in Oxford will sell you a new crank for £1800 exchange. I think that is what they quoted me but for my turbo engines, might be less for non-turbo. If the...
