Engine and propeller
The example's Continental IO-520-K (serial 557440) had a major overhaul with the cylinders restored, a new camshaft, new pistons and a new engine-driven fuel pump. Both magnetos were overhauled. The Hartzell propeller was also overhauled. Firewall-forward hoses (oil, fuel, air, hydraulic, duct) were replaced.
Airworthiness directives in the record
The record lists compliance with AD 76-08-04 (wood deterioration inspection), 76-23-03 R1 (exhaust), 87-11-01 (fuel caps), 84-26-02 (paper induction air filter), 96-12-22 (oil filter adapter) and 82-20-1 (magneto couplers). It also lists AD 90-02-17 (drag rack). Several have recurring due points, such as Tach 100.0 and 500.0.
Equipment and refurbishment
Standard equipment includes a 60 amp alternator, 12 volt electrical system, landing gear warning, stall warning, cowl flaps, pitot heat and a six-probe EGT. The example had its interior, windows, windshield, paint, instrument panel, nose gear tire and tube, battery and several antennas renewed. Service kits SK7-4020 and SKB102 are noted as installed.

Safety notes
- The source text is a garbled, machine-translated listing for one aircraft. Verify every item against the actual logbooks and the factory Bellanca maintenance manual.
- Check recurring AD due points (exhaust AD 76-23-03 R1, oil filter adapter AD 96-12-22, air filter AD 84-26-02) and the wood deterioration inspection under AD 76-08-04.
- Have a pre-buy inspect the engine mount, drag rack fittings and landing gear, since the record references service kits and ADs for these.
