Thanks for putting a note about this new list on the 601 list.
I'm just starting a scratch built, corvair powered 601. I bought the
plans and a core engine at Sun N Fun.

There are several Fifth bearing designs in the R&D stages.
I believe Dan is the first to fly one. He has about 20 hours on it I think.
I think Roy's design is the one I like the best so far.
I haven't seen Williams up close yet, but it looks interesting too.
I have one in mind that I want to try, we'll see how that turns out.

Cool List hey? all ya gotta do is ask

| Subject: | How to get core engine apart |
I just picked up 2 core engines. With 2, I figure I will end up with one
good one. LOL!! My problem is that both are froze up. After taking the top
cover off of both, one looks pretty clean, just has a lot of rust in the
cylinders. The other has some rust in the crank area, but not to much. The heads
and cylinders are really on there. What have people used to deal with this
kind of rust. I can't get to all the connecting rod bolts without turning the
engine. Any help would be great. Also, I want to remove the studs from the
case. How are people doing this. I tried the double nut idea, but both
nuts turn.

Larry,
I used mystery oil and put the engine in a tub from Lowe's and just kept it
soaked. Mystery oil seems to be the best I've tried but I think just getting
oil to the frozen parts is what helped the most. Just be patient and don't
force anything. I have wanted to try just soaking it in kerosene in the tub I
bought but haven't had any more engines to try it on. I'm sure there are 100
ways to do it so everyone chime in.

Larry,
There has been a lot of talk about an electrolysis method which I am not terribly
familiar with, but there have been several people raving about it.
A Google search on "electrical rust removal" or "Electrolytic rust removal"
should produce some results.
Jeff, you might want to try this too because it is quicker than just soaking them.
This method is supposed to break down the rust into a slippery mud and then it
just rinses off.
I haven't had the need to try it yet but I have heard it works great.
It's worth a shot.

I saw that to but that's all I need to do right now is start making
something else. As I said right now I have no cores but if I get a bad one I might
try it. It doesn't seem to difficult.

| Subject: | Rear case cleaning |
I have one good rear accessory case out of the 2 engines. It is pretty
nasty. Can this be disassembled and bead blasted, or what is the best way to
clean it up. Does anyone know where to buy the parts for the pump. I want to
clean this up and get this part of it done.
Thanks for the help. I think this list is going to be great for the builder
like me who just picked up their core engines.

Has anyone bought an OT-10 cam lately. I can only find the OT-20 cam? If
you know where to get it, let me know. I want to get it now. I want to have
the case back together by the end of July.

| Subject: | Re: Rear case cleaning |
Larry,
I have found that mineral spirits works very well to wash away all the oil and
greasy grim. A good soak will leave you with a fairly clean part. After that you
should wash the part in water and some sort of detergent. this will wash away
the dirt and other water based stuff. The Dishwasher is great for this and
will also tell you of how tolerant your wife is going to be for the rest of the
project. :D
After that all you need is an oil pump rebuild kit.
one things you might want to consider before you reassemble it would be weather
you want to run a rear alternator, or not.
If you want a rear alternator you should have the case modified before reassembly.
There are choices at every turn so go slow and do your research.
Are you going to do a front starter or a rear starter?
What airframe are you building?

Larry,
Try Clark's Corvair; I bought mine from them.
Also you can try Delta Cams, they will grind you anything you want.
If you can find one let me know and I will try to track one down.
You can have your cam reground if the core is in good shape.
Call Clark's on the phone I am sure they have one.

| Subject: | Electro Cleaning |
I am trying the electrolytic rust removal system on a rusted up rear case.
It is so rusted, I cannot remove any bolts to get to the oil pump gears. If
I do, they will break. This is a bad case to begin with. I made 2
electrodes and connected them with a pair of jumper cables. I then made up 3
gallons
of water and baking soda. I put everything in a plastic bucket and hooked up
a battery charger to it. I connected the red lead from the battery charger
to the 2 electrodes in the water. These 2 electrodes are not touching the
part that is being cleaned. I then hooked the negative terminal from the
battery charger to the part itself. I then plugged in the charger. I confirmed
that I had a current through the 2 electrodes to the negative post on the
part. I had a current! After a few minutes, I had a bubble action starting to
come from the part. A few minutes later, I began seeing rust floating on top
of the water. It is really starting to bubble and this may work! The web
site I was on said that you can not over clean the part and that it will not
do anything to the metal, so since this is a bad case, I am going to leave it
in all night and see what it looks like in the morning. If this works, I am
going to buy a tub to put my whole engine in and get it rust free and
hopefully unfrozen, so I can disassemble it. We will see. I will keep you updated
on this. I will see if the bolts on this case can be undone after this
process. That will tell the tale!
