Jeff
Guess I can't offer all that much help but I have a couple of observations.
To close up some loose fitting access holes, trim and pop rivet some
baffeling material around the holes. I used the trick of making the
baffeling material out of four or five layers of glas cloth and high temp
silicone. You can easily make any size or shape.
Are you sure the gauge is correct? Had lots of problems on my Tripacer;
tried about everything until my IA flew the plane and then checked the oil
temp with his hand held gauge. Found my oil temp gauge was reading 30
degrees high.
My oil cooler is right up front, at a cowl inlet and in front of the
cylinder.
Good luck.
Bob, Wichita

Mac,
I can not recall my numbers and temps per say, but the issue was when I took
a passenger. That passenger was an adult male pilot and he was lighter then
me. I am a 5"10 ish 5"11 and weigh 170 to 175. He is a little smaller at
about 5' 6" and maybe 150 lb.
He is a very experienced professional pilot for Applebee's restaurants as
well as a builder owner of a Fly baby. He was the one that got concerned
about the numbers and felt we should turn around and land. He was being very
cautious about damaging my engine. I kind of thought we should level out and
see if things settled down. As far as flying qualities with 2 up it felt
about the same as the difference of riding a motorcycle solo verses riding
with a passenger on the back. It actually felt firmer or heavier and more
stable. Then again , the flight was very short.
I did however feel that knowing that my baffling was allowing a lot of air
by without flowing over the jugs, I agreed to be safe rather then sorry. I
did also however find that when I was checking things out that my right side
cylinders had very low compression. I discovered that the stud bolts had
backed out and upon re torque of the bolts the compression came right back
up. I have wondered ever since then if that had more effect on the temps
then anything else. But I still want to get the baffling as right as I can.
I have actually let the plane sit now for over a year as I started modifying
my lower cowling. I cut out the old air scoop and am in the process of
glassing on an RV6 scoop. It is fully glassed an in primer now.
Four kids, the greatly increased job workload, getting back into
motorcycling, restoring a car, you know, all the excuses have kept me from
getting back to this. I even feel that the change in the KR net forum has
had a lot to do with losing my focus. I wish I had a KR guy that was near by
so as to help both of us keep motivated and all.
If you look under completions, Jeff York , you can see my plane. It is a
real beauty thanks to Bill Gaudlip the original builder. I am just trying
to improve on it.
Jeff York
