Subject: 582 breakin
Greetings listers. Hope there are still a few out there monitoring the
list.
Finally got the 582 running again.
Going through the breakin. switched from a clutch gearbox to a straight
c (no clutches)
Havnt switched prop pitch since before engine rebuild.
4300 is top rpm tied down on ground.
2500 is idle
Temps got up to about 190 before i interupted them to let it cool down.
I was using green anti freeze so will drain and put aluminum type in at
5050.
1. IN flight i used to get 6000 rpm with same pitch. Will my pitch be
ok prior to test flight?
2. Is 2500 too high for static prop and gearbox?
3. Do any of you remember getting higher rpms during ground breakin?
4. Should i change fuel pumps after 2 years of fox sitting? Ran good
during breakin?
5. Temps have always been a problem... i lowered radiator long ago and
built a little scoop for it and got along ok but not great. Always had
to be careful. Any new suggestions in 10 years or more??
Thanks
Jared
