engine overhaul

[rmorris]

Short answer: no

Engine never seized up...in fact could still turn prop by hand next day, and run engine at low idle...just no oil pressure and it cooked pretty good. We didn't know it was a nut, and oil pump came apart internally, so had spent many hours troubleshooting things before finally pulling engine. Almist wonder if more of the core could have been salvaged had we pulled it earlier...but again, no way to know what happened internally so our efforts seemed rational.
