Continental A-65 parts wanted

[Ian Law]

I'm looking for parts to complete the rebuild of my engine, which is actually an A-80. Many parts are the same as for the A-65. Any ideas where to find these would be appreciated.

Mercifully, the crankshaft, camshaft and cylinders are within original limits, but the hydraulic lifter bodies have enough wear to justify replacement. The piston pins also need replacing; they aren't worn, but are the hollow type and so have to be replaced with solid pins. They are smaller in diameter than the A-65 parts & same as for the A-75.

I will need to source the usual new seals, gaskets and some of the bolts.

Balancing the appropriate moving parts would seem to be a good idea and any contacts who might be able to do this for me, or recommendations, would be very welcome!

Get most things from FRESNO Airparts. They are very trustworthy family run business and they now take cards it had to be cash or money order on religious grounds before.
