do the oil pump pickup tubes break in these?
Did you find someone to do the flight testing on your O-300 stc?
Would be cool if Airworx LLC could become the owner of the Franklin engines, nothing seems to happen with the current holder of the rights.
What repairs are you doing to the cams? Are you spray welding to build them back up?
It warms my heart to see you guys working on Franklins
Glad to see these Franklin photos again
Does the engine stand need an adaptor for the Franklin ? Im.thinking about getting a stand.
Can you tell us about your camshaft repair process?
Glad you are back working on Franklins!!!
Glad you still do Franklins
When the painting is done and re-assembly is done etc…last item Will be re assembling the 0-320 E2D. I willCheck with you as we get closer to that time. Want to be able To Let You do break in runs andBring it back and hang it right away. Will be next to last work in the restoration project. OnlyItem After that will be avionics! Then inspection sign off and fly!
Well done 👍 keep it up with Franklin engines.
I had sent a private message to you about O435 piston rings/parts, wondering if you could help us out?
I don’t see any dirty hands?
How much power?
I absolutely love the smell of a fresh reman or overhauled engine after the first few run-ups!!! I've changed a few earlier in my A&P career...
Is your absorption unit water or eddy current or ?
I’ll take it!
Price for reman L model nowadays?

Off topic, you have any o320b2b's 160hp available?
Perfect
A beautiful sight!
QUESTION IS A TEST BENCH WITH DYNAMOMETER, HOT AIR SUBSCRIPTION OR AIR FLOW TO COOL THE CYLINDERS.?
Nice bench! 😊
Very good Eng
300HP ,EXELENTE motor,cuántos momentos vividos a lo largo de 42 años,gracias...
It's nice
Ich arbeiten hier immer wieder an solch Lycoming Motoren. Sehr robuste, gute Flugzeug Motoren! 👋🇺🇲
Gracias por tan bonitos recuerdos
Me interesa
And I thought the prop made that signature sound all these years!
I there wasn't Listened this best engine without Propeller
What's a ballpark overhaul with Millenniums like this one going for right now?
Yes
Interesting. How do you resolve the redoundancy and functionality in case of electrical break down? Like alternator dead and battery empty?
What are the benefits of electronic? Are there any that are as reliable as a magneto?
You put Surefly on my Lyc O-540. Starts on the 2nd blade, hot or cold.
My friend just installed e mag electronic ignition in his lycoming experimental. It only need a 9volt battery backup for. If your ships battery dies. I think it has its own internal alternator while it running plus ships power
Seriously considering using one on the F-1 racer I'm building. O-200 powered. Certification not required.
Where would you tap in for MP.
I would 100% buy electronic ignition for my 165hp Franklin. I've flown behind other engines that have electronic ignition and it's a fantastic upgrade.
Only works good if you run a full blown jpi it raises  the chts
What were the Dyno numbers?
Ron Williams
Any thoughts about re-grinding / shaping the cam to get additional HP as they do on air boats?
If I had the money I'd totally be down to be the guinea pig! My blue angels themed 172b would be sweet with 180hp!
Cost?
What do you anticipate the overhaul + modification to cost, roughly?
Glad to hear that. I have a Franklin in a Hiller 12.
Outstanding information
Good for you & all Franklin engine owners! 👍 Thank You for your commitment.
Wow! Glad to hear!
This announcement just made my day. Thank you for not giving up on us. We all believe in you and appreciate what you mean to our safety and our wonderful vintage engines.
Great!
Thank you for continuing the support. I’ve been flying a Franklin 165 for 20 years, and it’s great to know there is someone out there to help.
THANK YOU!
This is the best news I’ve had all morning! I’m glad your still in it. I know it’s just a matter of time before I bring you mine.
Best news I have read in a long time!!!
Thank you!
Great to hear.
Thank You!
Thank you!
That's AWESOME. Hope to see you soon !
Excellent
Good news!!
Good for you guys!
That's wonderful news!
Cue the confetti!!! Great news!
This is great news! Airworx LLC Thank you for your dedication in supporting general aviation. I totally understand the fustrations of dealing with allegations and not so honest people. I'm sure you guys will come out on top and at some point I think the Fed's will figure out who the problem is. Again great news and thank you!
This is exciting! I was about to give up on my 220.
Kudos to you! The Franklin engine deserves to live on. It is a truly robust design. Thank you for staying in the game and helping push forward and keeping these engines alive!!!
Great news, Chris. AirWorx overhauled all new cylinders on my 165 and they’re as great as can being
Thank you Chris we need you supporting our engines
Our phones are down until at earliest Friday. Please email if you need anything.
Try to Enjoy the silence.
Do you need a carburetor for it?
Awesome, this design is genius, thanks for sharing.
What paint do you use on the case?
What well engine max out for HP before the block starts flexing

What’s a ball park price to overhaul a 470 these days?
GOOD JOP
Thanks. I always wondered
Albero motore o a manovella con le bielle
What is that
Nice engine
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Only about 50 times faster than a Tobin arp. Lol. It has the reach to do the front bore?
That is NOT how I thought that would work, interesting
Clone it with improved materials
Chris, If owner supplied every last necessary part needed with all with correct 8130’s and necessary paperwork, would you be willing to machine, assemble and run in a Franklin?
Super sad you are not going to do franklin's, I am going to need mine done and your the only mechanic I trust other then myself to touch my plane. Maybe when the time comes we can work something out, a/p to a/p
Last 220 I flew behind was super strong!!! It always seemed like more than 220.
To bad, don't maintain a lot of franklins but I like them a lot, even though they have some typical quirks. But the same goes for my Lycoming O435/290 engines.
That would explain why my Stinson seems to have so much more spunk than a 172 of supposedly similar power!
Do an experimental line. Keep them things alive.
Poland for parts?
Awesome numbers and hopefully the 0-300 can get close to that .....
Would you say the 165 makes more than 165 at the prop ? Looks like it does. Thanks for the past support.
How long did you have it on order?
Let the chips fly
That's a Beauty!
