      I think they should just take the engine out of it and junk it, the airframe looks too moist, rotten and sunbaked to work.
      But I might be mistaken.

    That "Piper Aire" window decal means that plane originally had AC. Over the years folks have to choose to keep fixing leaks and issues or they delete it and get the useful load back. You may have a deleted AC bird.

    and …. click. Lycoming sitting equals cam lobes dry. My cam went bad and the core is still sitting in my hangar. Only way I knew was it didn’t make full RPM on run up. Oil analysis didn’t catch it. When I took my old engine to Lycon and they pulled cylinders, the piston skirts looked galvanized from all the cam shavings. The aluminum skirts absorbed the cam shavings. I use Aeroshell 100 plus but the damage was done by the airplane sitting in South Texas before I bought it and then not flying enough to keep the cam lubed. I would be very watchful for cam wear. Nice chatting with you and Joe at Osh and thank you for being so gracious with your time. Fly safe.

    Fist of all thank you Jason for posting the planes progress in the 401, i have been interested in how things work as i look up in the sly and see air craft flying above me and thinking what would it take to fly these things, so buy looking at this Rebuild Rescue, Man i have learned a Lot!!!! OMG it's just Fabulous. I also love the accent of Americans too. So thanks to Sam Ganow for letting you work on the plane that is Free, well in a sense it's not so quite free as if you want this to fly again and to unlike a car, OMG it is expensive so a lot off $$$$$$$ to be made in getting the parts and of course time to work on the plane as to look at other small planes to not just buy but to fix them and sell them for to fund in 401. I understand it's a Cessener Phoenix 401. i have a small air port that is close to me as that is in Tyabb Morning peninsula Melbourne Australia. I am a land lubber (so wingless) as i have watched your videos and learned a lot, also thanks to Kay, wow what a looker!!! love to learn to fly with Kay!! LOL the Queen of checking everything. So thank you Jason and Joe that works for you, Joe you will like Tyabb airport as there's some war planes there with Merlin engines V12's😁😅

Have a great time and I enjoy watching your videos. I wish I could have gotten my license before.

    I had guessed maybe a 5 percent chance that the battery had any juice at all, but when I saw the way the cylinders looked, I was figuring a good 95% chance of the engine starting. The initial turn-over was really disappointing, until you remembered you had turned the external power-pack off and corrected that mistake.
    That plane was stored PROPERLY!. I hope that it gives a very nice return on your invested money and labor, and has minimal ADs and other issues that need to be dealt with to bring it to compliance with modern standards.

      In the case of this Warrior, the key also provides for energizing the starter relay when in the “Start” position. Kind of hard to start it from the cockpit without the key.
      Looks like he got the pins and cylinder of the keyswitch freed up with the kroil.
      With a functioning ignition switch, he had the redundancy of shutting the engine down if something went wrong with the mixture cable.
      Otherwise he would have had to remove the p leads and manually ground the (non hot) lead on the starter relay coil to start.
      That does not sound like much fun.

    Great to see how easily you got this plane fired up and looking good.

Like yours my bore still has the hone cross hatching and it has good oil pressure. After washing off the moss and lichen it's looking good. Now I just need to find who has the keys and logbook.
