Warbird Information Exchange

Guys,

Here are photos of my 2nd engine. Would appreciate interpretation of all of the stampings that are on the case. The case was manufactured 2/1/1942. I have the original logbook that runs from 4/24/49 to 5/1/1953. This engine came with the 1942 O-58A.

Thanks
Steve

"ASF 4-21-43" "OCAD 5-23-45" means it was overhauled on this date at OCAD and ASF. wherever that is/was.

The first photo was a casting number from the manufacturer.

599:25 is the number of hours on the engine when overhauled at ASF. The numbers after 5-23-45, I'm guessing, is the number of hours on the engine when overhauled at OCAD.

Both were military overhauls.

Thank you very much for that information. This engine was on the O-58A when it was sold as surplus in 1945. I think OCAD was Oklahoma City Air Depot.

Best Regards,
Steve
