E-107 Engine Photo Album These are pictures of Peter Reynolds E-107. Here is what he has to say about it: It was the 14th one off the assembly line, part of the first run of engines that had the breather in the middle top of the rear of the engine, should have been on aircraft NC-565V, had no oil temp gage, just a drain plug, non-screw mag terminals and the short stack exhaust option. Ran it for 3 minutes, performed flawlessly and held 15 to 18 psi for all operations. Well I did it, I do not plan on running it anymore. As far as I can tell, it is the oldest original, running engine in the country, as you know, most of the 107s around have 113 parts on them, and only a few of the 26hp engines were ever made, they went to the 30hp version in mid 1930. I am very happy to have found a true piece of Aeronca history. Here are some pictures of he data plate, the breather top, which is stamped: AERO 293, the oil pump, which is stamped: 28. I was told the short stack option is very rare and one original plug that came with the engine. Also, on the back of the crankcase is stamped 300 and on the rear crankcase accessory cover is stamped 9. On the inside of the oil pump sump cover is stamped 5
