| Subject: | Cont. C-145 lifter body, end geometry |
Hello all:
We're overhauling a C-145 Cont. in our EAA affiliated Flying Club
airplane.
Our Lifter bodies (cam followers?) are in near perfect shape including
the faces which engage the cam.
We want to just lightly touch the lifter faces for renewal.
Could someone please advise what coarseness (grit?) of stone or wheel
would be appropriate for this?
We have run a dial indicator over the face and it is not flat. The
center of the face is 3 to 5 thousandths higher than the edge.
This appears to be a straight, rather than radius (concave?) cut across
the lifter face. Do we have that right?
Can anyone advise what are the Continental specifications for renewing
the lifter face? Angles etc.
We have a lot of machine shop capability. Any help is greatly
appreciated.
Regards,
Randy, Las Vegas

You need someone that knows what they are doing. Regular engine
shops/repair stations such as One Stop or Lycon in CA can do a fine
job for you on inspecting/machining/certifying the major parts you
want to reuse.

| Subject: | OIL CARTRIDGE/REVMASTER |
Hi Folks!
I'm new to this site and hope that someone can help me. I own a Kitfox Classic
IV with a Revmaster R2100D engine. I'm looking for a cartridge filter to fit
my oil filter cooler. Thus far I'm using FRAM oil filters and they work just
great, but I'm trying to restore the engine to its original state. Revmaster
has no replacement parts. Anyone know what I'm talking about and can help?
If I find out how to add an attachment I'll do that next time around.
Thanks.

Those surfaces are originally ground, at I believe, a 3deg angle
to facilitate rotation. I have a fully equipped racing engine shop,
but normally send them out to a shop already set up to do them.
Cheaper than doing them ourselves.
