new and old cylinders

[hawaiiJim]

Flying my 4 new mellininum cylinders on my a 65. going good. It took the a & P and I 17 hours to remove and replace... I now have the 4 old cylinders that were running - abiet without much compression without a use for them.. Does anyone have a use or need for them.. Aloha, Jim

Hi Jim,
I am a retired teacher taking an A&P course in Burlington, Vt. I have been flying since age 17, flew in the Army, now instruct a little in my T-Craft, and wanted to flesh out my GA background with an A&P. Our A&P school is a small regional program, currently with eight students, and we survive on the largesse of others. If you would be willing to donate your cylinders, we could use them especially if they are complete with valves, springs, etc. Do you have the pistons also? It would be interesting for the class to try to analyze the compression problem. There is no money for shipping, which I imagine would be pretty steep from Hawaii, so it's not a great deal for you.

Jim,
You might try putting them on eBay. I've seen cylinders for small Continentals on there from time to time.
