'Hey Mike, If anyone is gonna get involved with an auction they know they're taking it upon themselves to decide what they're lookin at and how much they want the stuff. Nobody said the engines looked like jewels. They are what they are. After all, isn't this board supposed to be here to share Fairchild info. for the good of the group? Somebody may want those engines!'

'Let me say it like this. I have seen enough Rangers
that look like these end up scrapped. Don't expect to
make these things jewels. I have done enough of these
engines to know what I am talking about. I can't take
something like this and make it like new, the parts
are not available. Hey fellas, this list if for
information and I believe I gave GOOD INFORMATION!
BEWARE OF WHAT YOU BUY AT AUCTION!
Sure, someone can buy them but don't expect them to
measure to specs. You may get lucky, you may not. I
have scrapped I don't remember how many cylinders I
replaced that leaked at the heads even though they
measured to standard dimensions. It costs $15,000.00
to make an airworthy Ranger engine and I can't see
wasting good money on unuseable equipment. Then you
get pissed off at me for a bad engine. Forget about
them!
