| Subject: | Sergio Dallan's see through nose case covers |
--> M14PEngines-List message posted by: "ScottA" <s-aldrich@comcast.net>
I have heard of Sergios sight gauge or see through cover that goes on the nose
case of the M14 but have never seen any with it installed. Some where just talking
about it over on the YAK list.
The way I understand it (??) the clear cover replaces the cap on the nose case
of the Series 2, M14Ps that have the option to install an external oil centrifuge
(if you have electric start this would be covered I believe). You then have
a mark on the gear in there that lets you know when the crankshaft is stopped
with the connecting rod journal in the upper most position. I believe the
theory being that oil will not get into the crank and run down to the lower cylinders.
There seems to be various oil passages and then there is the oil jet
that if stopped in the up position wouldnt let oil leak out.
I am wondering what the see through cover would need to be made of and if there
is much pressure in that part of the nose case (I dont think so)?
One thing I have noticed is sometimes I can sit for days and get almost no oil
and others I can get considerable (and I do have the clean kit and sump pump out)
usually it comes out of the right exhaust stack. Just wondering if by pure
dumb luck the crank is stopping in the up position on the days I get nothing
and if this is something worth looking into further.
Scott
