G'day back Guys
Thanks everyone for ur concerns and
suggestions ...very much appreciated ...
Have been away since the prang ..but got out to the Plane again today
... Pulled the S/plugs ..and found #2 s/plug end smashed ..and also the
Piston top has puncture holes rite through .. all other s/plugs look ok
...but a couple of other piston tops have 'pitting' ...
Have talked to the Engine builder ( specializes in Performance and Race
engine builds ) and he will pull the engine as soon as i get it to him
...
Looks like the Valve timing got out of sync with the pistons ... Timing
belt and all pulleys all look fine though ....and don't know how that
ties in with the Oil issues ....
Anyway the engine tear-down will tell the story though ..
Thx again ..for now ..
Graham

We later swiched to a round tube of 4130. If you can get some
2inch .095 wall tube you could weld that in. The airfoit tube requires
stiffiners and though better looking was not as strong as the round
tube. |You cand build a fairing onto the tube with glass and foam.

Sorry to here about the mishape. Have you found the final
cause?

G'Day guys,
Recently swapped out the Subaru engine
(158hp ) for a Zero time 195hp Subaru in my KIS TRI ... Have had over
Temp Oil pressure probs ...but was thinking the engine was running in ok
as Oil Temp were coming down ..
However yesterday during another short test flt the Oil
Pressure dropped ..and after an engine surge the engine quit dead ..
Landed 50mtr short of the Runway ...Damage is ..one smashed
Prop Blade and one Nose Gear leg ..
So LOOKING to ask if anyone can give me a lead to a
replacement nose gear Leg ..It has the Streamlined steel leg ... Even a
lead onto the Streamlined profile steel supply would be great as i could
remake the leg if i had a piece of the Streamlined Steel Stock .
Any help would be great

Snowline welding in Bend Oregon had the tooling to manufactor the mounts.
- The problem is they take a long time to find it. Give them a call

This question probably shows everybody how "in the dark" I really am with m
y project, but I wanted to know if there was a current source for the dynaf
ocal mount for a cruiser. If not, does anyone have the prop centerline dime
nsions and any offset required?

I had a simular problem with a VW that I had many years ago.- The dealers
hip that did the tune up on my car set the timing way in advance which led
to a burned hole in the cylinder.-this was on a new car too. -The high
oil temp was probably related to the cylinders getting much hoter than norm
al.
