| Subject: | Re torque of Model A prop bolt |
Some weeks ago I appealed for info re the correct method for removing & re fitting
a prop on a model A Ford.
I particularly wanted the torque spec of the main nut on the prop flange.
the other question was what is the coolant additive for lubrication of the water
pump.
There has been no response so far, we are very isolated here in West Australia,
& don't know much about Piets.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Graham Hewitt

| Subject: | Re - fitting props to Model A Fords |
Some time back I asked for information on removal and refitting to Model A engines.
I particularly wanted a torque value for the main nut on the end of the
crankshaft which holds the prop flange.
The other question was - "what is the suggested additive to the coolant which will
stop corrosion and at the same time, lubricate the water pump."
So far I have had no replies. I am helping assemble an imported Pietenpol in Western
Australia. We are very isolated here and have no local knowledge of these
problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards.

Some time ago I requested information on your website relating to fitting props
to Model A Ford engines. I particularly wanted information on any torque value
for the main nut, bolting the prop flange to crankshaft.
The other question was - "is there any information on the correct additive to the
coolant which will give both corrosive protection and lubrication for the water
pump. So far I have not received any replies.
I am helping assemble a Pietenpol in Western Australia which is a very isolated
place. We have no local knowledge of Piets out here.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards.

Here's some info from the archives. If you can't find these exact same
products in Australia, at least it gives you some ideas of what to look for:
=======================
(Idea No. 1 and 2, from Chris Bobka:)
Thanks guys for the help. I found it at Mills Fleet Farm. Solder Seal brand
antirust and lubricant. I did not even think about the machine tool bit
coolant. I have some downstairs. I just didn't make the connection.
(Idea No. 3 and 4, from Alan Swanson:)
I was just down at the Checkers store here in Minnetonka MN. Prestone has
an Anti-Rust that also has a water pump lubricant in it for renewing
antifreeze. Justice Brothers makes a water pump lubricant also with
anti-rust that can be bought at NAPA auto stores. The link to the Justice
site is http://www.justicebrothers.com/radiatoradditives.htm. I would think
that the anti rust component would be especially important in a cast iron
block that was using pure water.
=============================
Still working on info you need on the prop hub hold-down nut. I have the
plans and manual, but there isn't any fastener torque info there. I don't
have my Flying & Glider Manual here at work, but doubt that torque info
would be in there anyway. Gotta look elsewhere... best source would be one
of the guys who flies a Ford "A", but I'll see what I can find.

Fred B.,
Your glue choice sounds good to me. Marine apps see more water than aviation,
and often plenty of stress (pounding, etc.), too. I like the fact that West Marine
is close to me, as well. What are the numbers on your cans of West Marine
Epoxy and Hardener? I see several choices on their site. Are you using a
fast dry or slow dry hardener, and what setup time did you experience? Are you
using any microfiber fillers? Thanks,
Tim
