Well, I have some updates. The overhauled engine arrived last week. It beat the prop/governor back. The overhaul shop reported that Divco was unable to service the case, but the shop did not charge me for the case that they used. The jury is still out on the crankshaft, but the shop believes it will be ok. My IA was concerned over the lack of 8130s and that the fuel servo was in a box, did not appear overhauled, and was accompanied by a hand-written bench test report. We got the paperwork for the new cylinder kits, starter, mags, and fuel distributor. I called the shop and they scanned and sent me the labels, et cetera for the new Superior camshaft, lifters, fand fuel pump. They said that they exchanged the fuel servo. Another IA said that it's not uncommon for the servo to have a used appearance to it after overhaul as all that's done is that the diaphragms get replaced, parts get inspected, and it gets flow checked.
I suspect there's a good chance that the only parts of my old engine that I got back may be the oil pan, the accessory case, and that ring on the top that you attach an engine hoist to.
I feel like I've done pretty well on this whole thing considering. The prop and governor were supposedly delivered last last week with the combined total on that being $1495, which included the governor overhaul, prop strip, paint, reseal, and installation of new studs. I am a firm believer that spending lots of money does not guarantee better results, but I also don't cut corners. I'm having some miscellaneous things done, such as having all of the 50 year old wires replaced.
