I had an O-290D in my Pacer and had a hard time finding parts when I needed to do a top overhaul. Pistons were pretty scarce. I did find what I needed from Gibson. http://www.gibsonaviationok.com/
The O-290D2 is easier to find parts for and for future reference if anyone is looking at planes with the 290 try to get a D2 instead of the D. Parts are easier to find, I think a bit more HP, and it has hydraulic lifters unlike the D. I called a Lycoming rep at the time when I was trying to find pistons and he told me that the reason the 290D parts were hard to find was because it used most of the same parts as the 290G ground power unit and a lot of the 290D engines were now in experimentals and using the 290G parts, so much so, that people were not buying many 290D parts anymore hence they stopped making them.
