The cylinder, rings and piston were ok. The wrist pin and crank through bearings were ok. Next I took off the flywheel cover so I would not have to detach all the wires as I took the rest of the engine off to work on it on the bench. When I removed the cover, I discovered the torsional vibration damper ring that was bonded to a hub on the starter ring web had come loose. As I started the engine it fell off the hub and acted as a disk brake between the starter ring web and the inside surface of the housing. I called Quebec to see about getting a replacement part, and I was told that Simonini no longer uses this part on the newer engines. And, I can run the engine minus the ring without any adverse effects. This is good news, as I hope to be back in the air this weekend. Also the FireFly will weigh 1.5 pounds lighter than before. In the near future, I will put up some photos. Have a good Fourth! Jack B.

For instance, the glider discussion evolved from a question somebody posted maybe a month ago about 503 failures. That discussion continued on to a discussion about the subsequent deadstick landings that resulted because of the engine failures. You can see how deadstick landings might evolve into a discussion about gliders among those of us who trained and licensed in gliders. If somebody has not been following the thread from the beginning and tunes in a month later, certainly they are going to wonder what it has to do with Kolbs. I personally feel that allowing the discussion to evolve is much more interesting and much more like "real" conversation because people's personalities begin to show through. You may not agree with the person, but at least you know who they are and how they think. I don't agree with those who want to close the Mexican border and patrol it with civilians piloting armed Kolbs, but the Constitution gives them the right to voice that opinion and technically, they have the right to post it here too.

Is it my imagination or does 85psi oil pressure sound a bit high. It has been a while since I worked on vw's and have had alot of engines in between but I think there is an adjustment on the oil pump to bring the pressure down a bit.

I put the high oil pressure kit in my engine after several Baja dune buggy racers told me that a good percentage of the cooling in the engine is thru the oil. Higher pressure equals more flow equals more cooling. 85 psi IS high, but when warmed up it should be around 60 which would be right on target. On the 45 psi fuel pressure, it's a fuel injected engine with Ford components driven by a custom built computer. Apparently that's normal for those components. When I ran the engine prior to its' breaking the input shaft, all was well........no oil leaks. That's why I'm focusing my efforts around that new, re-designed input.

Have you made your plans yet? You are all invited to join in the flight along the lake. I, along with a few other Kolbs will gather at Sault Ste Marie Muni (KANJ), MI on Saturday evening 23 July. Then we plan to fly along the south shore of Lake Superior on Sunday 24 July and land at Ford Airport (KIMT), Iron Mountain, MI for a late lunch. Our schedules vary before and after this small gathering but most will fly into Oshkosh on Monday morning 25 July More details of my planned flight our on my website (address below).

I'm sure he would really enjoy talking or writing to you regarding your experiences. Will you share your address and 'phone number?? If so, I'll pass the data on to Larry who is not on the net.
