I do understand the way the forged pistons grow more than cast pistons requiring more clearance. I'm going to open up the bores and try it again. I like the idea of running the engine in my AA truck except for the double engine change. I guess really long ground runs will be in order.

The rib lace cord is heavier. Don't use the lighter thread for rib lacing. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=425167#425167 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:40:55 PM PST US Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Covering From: John Kuhfahl steve, call louie vigiano--661-0841--80 year old wealth of knowledge On Wed, Jun 18, 2014 at 1:56 PM, Douwe wrote: > > I'd add some anti chafe tape to that list > > The covering on the tail is right in the slipstream and vibrates a ton. > Cover the structure where it'll wear the covering. > > You'll also want a strip over each rib on the outside of the covering so > the stitching doesn't tear thru > > You wife's iron will likely get something on it, don't ask how I learned > this... > > Oh, and don't use a heat gun... > > Douwe > > Sent from my iPhone > > -- John Kuhfahl, Lt Col USAF (Ret), President, KUHLCOUPER LLC ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
