Chuck G. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:22:14 AM PST US From: Jeff Boatright Subject: Pietenpol-List: A plug for Earth Rider hotel --> Pietenpol-List message posted by: Jeff Boatright We are staying at the Earth Rider Hotel in Brodhead this year for the Fly-In. They still have rooms available for those days. If you're interested, their contact information is: http://www.earthridercycling.com/ Earth Rider, 929 W. Exchange St., Brodhead, WI 53520, 608-897-8300 (phone) 608-214-3573 (alt. phone) 608-897-8399 (fax) info@earthridercycling.com I'm sending this to the list because I have had what I consider outstanding service from Sharon, the owner. We had originally booked a room with two beds and a roll-away. Somehow it worked out that the roll-away would not fit. To honor the original agreement, Sharon is renting us an entire additional room for the price of the roll-away ($10 per night!). She said she'd have beds for three, and by gosh, she is honoring that. Sharon's decision has now made it possible for my wife to additionally come along (no way was she going to share a room with three smelly guys!). I think Sharon has a great business ethic, and she's very welcoming to fly-in attendees. Additional reviews of her business are at: http://tinyurl.com/pnbuw http://www.indreg.com/Default.cfm?Date=06/08/2005 I hope this doesn't transgress list etiquette, but I thought some on the list would be interested in another great Brodhead business that welcomes Piet people.

If you include a link in your post these steps will guarantee that everybody sees it... 1. Before you paste in the link click the URL button. 2. Then backspace over the closing bracket ("]") and get rid of it and replace it with "=". 3. Paste in the link. 4. Put the closing bracket back in. 5. Type a SHORT description (this is what shows up instead of the actual link). 6. Hit the URL button again. 7. Done. I think the URL gets chopped of when it gets spit into 2 lines during the copy and paste. This should work (or I'll look foolish). :) BTW The video is awesome, especially the grand finale.

Matronics turns the "@" character into "(at)" when it turns it into a link so this won't work for links that have that character in them anywhere. It will otherwise.

Hi Folks, Anybody know where I can buy .020" under bearings for the A-75? I tore it down the other day due to: 1. low oil pressure (27 psi @ 145F on a 90F day with SAE 50wt) 2. no logs on the engine, hence an unknown # of hours on it 3. a low frequency vibration at reduced throttle settings (about 2000 rpm down to about 1600). I found the center and rear mains worn down to the copper around 90% of their diameter, and the rod bearings showing copper under the beam of the rod. Cam and tappets look great :-). The engine had new oil pump gears and a fresh top-end w/ chrome cylinders 65 hr ago when it was installed in the Piet by the builder, but I was always concerned about the bottom end due to the lack of documentation. The vibration convinced me it was time to open & inspect. The crank passed magnaflux, but was previously ground .010" under and is now worn/scored slighly/just out of spec for fresh .010" bearings. I haven't started looking for .020" under bearings as I didn't think they existed, but read of them tonight on Harry Fenton's website. I appreciate any "tribal knowledge" on this, as I've been into many engines of many types in the past but this is my first Continental. I do have the factory manual for reference, and I have to say this is one of the simplest little engines (in a good way!) that I've ever seen. What do y'all recommend for sealing the case halves? I've always used Hylomar for Porsche/VW engines, but this Continental appeared to have been sealed previously with blue Aviation Permatex. Thanks in advance!

Hi Folks,
