Anyone need a Cessna valve removal too?
 

I bought a rather interesting valve removal tool at a going out of
business sale last week. Its one of the biggest Ive ever seen and one
of the employees (a friend) told me to snag it. When I asked why...he
said "because its a valve removal tool for a Cessna engine"

Anyone need it?

Photos will be forth coming

You just opened the window for a glimpse at the liberal mindset. You
people think, for some unknown reason, that since you are infinitely
more "intelligient" than the "average" citizen then it's not only your
God given right, but a responsibilty to tell everyone else how they
should live, spend their money, what to eat, what to drive, how much
to eat and drink and what to set your thermostat to. Of course, those
same rules don't apply to you because you, being a highly educated
individual with a degree in the "arts", don't have to abide by those
same rules. Thank GOD you are in the minority.

No such thing as a
"cessna" engine. It will be either a Lycoming or a Continental engine.

Correct. I discovered that after posting the above and doing a bit of
research.

Actually, in the late 1920's Cessna did make engines -- or at least it
modified Anzani engines for more power. There was a shortage of good,
modern (for the time) engines in the 100-150 HP range, and Cessna had
airplanes to sell. So they figured out how to replace the self-actuating
intake valves with cam-actuated ones.

In the end it only sold them a few planes, but it does make an
interesting bit-o-trivia.

Did you ever sell those aircraft books?
If not, send me an email. The one I'm
using for you keeps bouncing.
