Just looking at your engine pics again. Would be cool to see a before
and
after shot next to each other, just to show what can be done with the
right
motivation.
Looking forward to seeing a best plans build award hanging off the prop
when
you get it to Oshkosh.
Again... Nice work.

Ken,
When I first got my heads they were VERY dirty. The man who sold it to
me told me it had been sitting for almost 20 years in a barn somwhere in
the Pacific Northwest. It was caked on with crud, oil, and even found
a couple rodent nests under the baffling.
The first step in getting it clean was to pressure wahs it at the local
car wash. That got the big chunks off. Then I bought about 4 cans of
Easy Off oven cleaner. This stuff is awesome! Youhave to be very
careful when you use it as it will attack aluminum. What I did was
spray it on fairly generously and then let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Then pressure wash it off. Do that about 4 or 5 times and the case and
heads look silver almost like new.
The next step in getting them really really clean is walnut shell blast
them. Using my blasting cabinet and medium AD6B walnut shell media
(which I got locally for $25 for a 50lb bag) I blasted them in every
nook and cranny. Took me about 2 hours of blasting to get them
perfectly clean.
I did the same with the case. Under NO circumstance will you use glass
bead or sand media. You will ruin the case and heads. Walnuts are very
safe on aluminum.... althought you still must stay away from machined
and/or gasket areas.
The final step was a 1" wire brush in my hand drill. I went over the
entire case and heads with it which gave them a slightly polished look.
As you can see my heads are modified a la Pat Panzera & Mark Langford
with the carb flange routed off and then polished and then a 90 degree
intake pipe welded on.
It pays to take the extra time to make your parts REALLY clean.

Subject: | shoulder harness |
--> Pietenpol-List message posted by: "Douwe Blumberg" <douweblumberg@earthlink.net>
I want to put a shoulder harness in my piet. The crossmember behind the
pilot is low and I've heard that there are fears of spinal compression
injuries in case of impact... which kind of makes sense. I'm thinking
of reinforcing the turtle deck former behind the pilot and running the
harness out of the very top of that and then running a cable back in the
fuselage to some solid cluster or even to the tailskid/keel area.
Passenger harness can obviously go to the cabanes so that's easy. What
have you guys done or seen that works. My problem also is that I
purchased a project and the fuselage is already covered but the guy made
no provisions for seat belts of any kind so I've got to go in and
retrofit something.
thoughts??

I've come to the conclusion that a cable to the tailwheel bolt is the best way
to go. Drill a hole back by the tailwheel out of the bottom and stick a long rod
all of the way thru the fuselage and pull it thru with the cable taped to one
end. An aluminum formed head rest type of thing screwed to the top of the turtle
deck looks cool and would be a place to support the shoulder belts at the
right height for your shoulders.
