I am looking for a used IO-540 for my 173 RG.  I have found one for sale =
by Wentworth Aircraft Salvage. It is a used IO-540 K1E5 (300HP).  The =
specifics on the engine are - it came out of a Bellanca, it has not been =
in service since 1995 or 1996, it has been stored inside, it has 1200 =
hours since new, nitrited cylinders, compressions are 76, 78, 74, 73, =
78, 76, for a cost of about 12K.  My greatest concern lies in the length =
of time this has been in storage.

I appreciate anyone's opinion and / or sources for a used IO-540.

Thanks,
Joe
