Crack in engine case...

[rmorris]

The original of the engine log is with the mechanic, since he is doing research for me towards a solution.

I did find where I made a photocopy of the pages and see that in July of 2005 the previous owner (who was an a&p and is now deceased) tore down the engine because he thought there might be metal in the oil filter. He then honed the cylinders, replaced the bearings, rings and crankshaft. He specifically states that it doesn not count as on overhaul.

The logs say it is a TSIO-360A.

Since it says he replaced the crankshaft, but does not say VAR or not-VAR, how do I figure out if there is a VAR crankshaft (short of tearing it down to take a look? I have heard that if it has a non-VAR crankshaft that it is not cost-effective to overhaul.

Again, any suggestions or thoughts are welcome (either on this blog, or via email).
