Without reference to dates, the general steps for overhaul included: (1) disassembly, identification, evaluation, and lubrication of all engine parts, (2) stripping the engine parts of paint, varnish, and stains from years of use and storage, (3) sending out the critical parts for inspection, repair, and replacement as necessary to an engine shop (Columbia Aircraft), (4) painting of exterior engine parts before assembly, (5) installing the new engine bearings, (6) installing the crankshaft, camshaft, and gears, (7) assembling the piston pushrods and bearings, (8) preparing the crankshaft halves for assembly, (9) mating the crankshaft halves with all the internals in place, (10) assembling the cylinders, pistons, piston rings, and pushrods, (8) installing the cylinder assemblies on the crankcase, (9) installing the valve pushrods, rockers, and valves, (10) installing the intake manifold, (11) installing the oil pickup and sump, and (12) discovering no parts left over after assembly—a good sign.
