'Tony,
I'm all for keeping the classics as original as possible but there are times when parts availability and economics make that very difficult. You are facing a problem that will eventually be the demise of many Warner powered 24s. I own one of the few flying Jacobs 755B2 powered F-24s around ...

'Your best bet would be to search the group archive .. there has been a great deal of discussion on this topic over the years. I think just about every 24 owner has experienced this problem at one time or another. If you haven't you probably will. I limit my hard surface operations just because I ...

'Hi Joe ...

I have a 1946 24W-46 with a Jacobs 755B2 (275HP) ... I love it but it's not for everyone. Performance it pretty remarkable and it sure looks good. Google N4263S and there is a local Atlanta photgrapher's site with a few good shots. Biggest problem with the Jake conversion is that the ...

'I just went through the process of reworking my valves. They had become so difficult to turn that I was afraid I was going to become the subject of an NTSB report. On disassembling the valves I found that they had some deep scars and metal transfer. No wonder they were so difficult to turn. I had ...

'About two weeks ago I installed an Advanced Aircraft Electronics antenna in my F-24. Probably the best money I have spent in a long time. The antenna works great. One of the previous owners had installed a common quarter wave antenna on top of the cabin. They obviously did not grasp the basics of ...

'I am one of the few individuals, that I know of, currently operating a Jake powered F24. George Leighton is really the only other person I know personally and he is in the process of finishing up an engine change to a 755B2. I have commented to the group on several occasions how much I enjoy this ...
