Yes, and the harmonic balancer key sheared at 40 something hours. That engine has a bit of a checkered history, with this owner only having flown it a few hours, if at all. Visit the CorvAircraft archive at tp://www.maddyhome.com/corvairsrch/index.jsp for more on that, especially the last couple of days. Search for Rinker as the keyword. The history on that engine goes back a few years, and it is one of the few (if not the only) Rinker that's flown at all. Most Corvair folks would agree that it's not a recommended configuration for Corvair power. That's not to say that it might not be a fine engine with the redrive removed, but how feasible that is would depend on modifications that have been done to crank and case.
