Clean your parts that go together to be sure oil, dirt are missing. Put
fuel lube on the male side of threaded parts before tightening. Put it on
threads only and not too much or it might get inside where the fuel will
flow. Once tightened, then you can cover the outside with Proseal. Proseal
should not be needed in accessible areas. But it good insurance especially
inside the tanks where you can't easily retighten it a bit if it develops a
slow leak.

Get a copy of the Lycoming Parts manual. Going from memory, only one of the
150 HP engines that has a smaller two piece nose bearing is not suitable for
an 160 upgrade. The only two differences is the piston part number (.032"
taller for more compression) and the wrist pin has a thicker wall thickness.
There are several STCs out here for the upgrade. You do not neeed the
upgrade on your EXPERIMENTAL only on a certificated airplane.

I heard the bearings won't take the high compression pistons. If this can

My O32-E3D is a wide deck 320 with the two piece front main bearings... I
have seen both styles now and don't see how anyone can say the one pieces is
any stronger, and my A&P / IA buddy agrees... In fact, he says the two
piece arrangement may in fact be stronger.....and I should have no trouble
with the higher compression pistons...
I believe the one piece bearing is designed to provide oil for a C/S
prop.....and I don't believe there is any more bearing surface than with the
two separate bearings.....of course I could be wrong...
There are STCs for installing the 8.5:1 pistons in O320s... My engine has
one, and so do several others... I found it at one time in the lycoming
site, and probably could again...
I am installing the ECI 9:1 pistons and the performance CAM from
ASI.....which should give me about 170 HP...

Ok...
so how are the feds approaching the panels you guys (gals?) are putting
together using the newer EFIS systems like the Dynon?
Are you getting grief from the feds concerning TSO's etc? I've heard some
feds will *not* sign off on an IFR panel using anything non-TSO'd.
As far as a panel for legal IFR goes... It is my understanding that due to
rules on failures (i.e. no one single-point failure can compromise the ability
of the pilot to remain oriented in IMC) the Dynon could only be used when
there are secondary references for the 'IFR-required' instrument functions. In
other words, do you all still have a regular steam-guage
altimeter/airspeed/compass/and gyro of some sort (T&B?) for backup? Are you using
peanut backup
instruments? Two Dynons?
I'm really curious as I plan on building an IFR panel for my -4 soon, and
plan to include a Dynon (complimented by my existing altimeter, airspeed,
compass, and Navaid AP/T&B)... and was hoping this could be approved. A non-vacuum
full-gyro panel with backup -awesome! Truthfully, with the backup battery, IMHO,
this would be a much 'safer' panel than most GA aircraft have (because of the
propensity of vacuum pump failure and mechanical attitude indicator failure
-both nasty for crapping-out) and every bit as safe as the ones I use in the
turbine aircraft I fly for a living.

The "feds" do not sign off on such things. The list of requirements for
IFR flight are in the FAR's, but the airworthiness certificate does not,
or at least did not as of 2001, "certify" that an experimental was IFR
capable. The only mention in my certificate is prohibing such
operations during the test phase. It is up to us as builders/flyers to
self certify for IFR flight (some of which includes needing some TSOable
equipment, IIRC).
I can't recite the specific areas in the FAR's, but how they relate to
experimental aircraft IFR use has been thoroughly covered in the
archives. It is worth going to the on-line FAR's and digging around to
gain a general familiarity with the requirements.
An archive search for IFR & robertson coughed up 103 messages on the RV
list today, listen well to what Mike Robertson has to say in these
messages (thanks Mike).
Also, do a google search for aim0101.html, it is a good read which
clarifies how gps is used/not used in IFR. Dig about 60% of the way
through it for gps IFR stuff.

Scott,
The underlying issue was discussed extensively in the recent past. This
has to do with what the FAA authorizes at the time of the inspection.
In essence, they give you an airworthiness certificate that states,
"After completion of phase I flight testing, unless appropriately
equipped for night and/or instrument flight as listed in 14CFR, Part
91.205 (b through e), this aircraft is to be operated under day only
VFR."
It is then up to you to determine if your aircraft is "appropriately
equipped."

I looked into this very question for a little while. There is a good
document on the EAA web site. There is/was a good discussion about it on
the Blue Mountain Avionics web site a while ago too.
http://members.eaa.org/home/homebuilders/faq/Equipping%20a%20Homebuilt%20for%20IFR%20operations.html
Basically, it is up to the builder to 'certify' that the equipment
installed in the airplane is IFR capable, so long as the minimum
requirements of the FARs are followed. For instance, you can use a
non-certified AI and, as the builder, decide that it is suitable for IFR
use. However, you must still follow the minimum equipment needed for IFR
flight as stated in the FARs.
The biggest issue that I found was with IFR GPS. While the FAR/AIM
states that IFR GPS must *meet* the requirements of C129, I couldn't find
anything that states that the equipment has to be *built* that way.
However, if you've ever read C129, most experimental aircraft builders
wouldn't be able to do all of the 'shake and bake' tests required.
http://av-info.faa.gov/tso/Tsocur/C129a.doc
If I (as I am) were building an IFR-capable experimental aircraft, I
would choose my instruments and electronics carefully. Non-certified may
be just fine, and I will undoubtedly use some in my aircraft. However, I
will be purchasing and installing a GPS with existing C129 compliance.
There is no way that I could sufficiently meet the requirements of the
TSO.
YMMV... and I'm not a lawyer or aviation expert...

One other difference also-
The 150 HP 0-320's all have straight bore cylinders. The 160 HP higher
compression ones have choke ground cylinders.

Karie,
Breakaway Park is the main one I konw of, but it is not cheap. I think Lakeway
has a "community" airport, but it is not close to downtown either.
Austin has a very large RV population. Most people in town keep their planes out
at Georgetown, as they have added a bunch of hangars. It's probably a 35 minute
drive from downtown.
You might also check the EAA 187 website (link on Vans). The roster lists all
of the members, and you can see what everyone is building.

I'm thinking of taking a job in Austin Texas. I would be taking my project and
finishing it there. I would like to know if there are any airparks in the Austin
area? I've found a few on the web but any specific info (RV friendly, other
builders in the area) would be great. I would be working in the downtown Austin
area so I'm not looking for a big commute but would be willing if the home/airpark
were right.

Trevor: I have been down this avenue before, bad news the governor for the
twin engine has provisions for feathering the prop, when you start the
engine as oil pressure comes up the blade angle will go to an extreme angle
and the engine will lug and shake. Hope this helps.

Hi Trevor,
Weather the governor fills your need or not it can likely be used to tradein
or barter for the one you require.
The best of luck,

Talk to Cee Bailey Plastics - they strongly talk against any vinyl and
acrylic saying it can crack a windshield in less than a year.
they include a specail warning with each acrylic window they ship.

Thanks for all the input on the filtered air box. With the prop back on
the plane, I see I can easily get the cowl off/on with the FAB shortened
to 15.75 inches.
That's the good news. The bad news is the clearance between the FAB and
the cowl air scoop. The left side of the FAB is nearly touching the
cowl. One guy said this was not an unusual problem. The best solution
I can think of is to fabricate another mounting plate, moving everything
over a 1/2". This will put the filter and opening for the carb off
center with the base of the carb. I don't think that will create any
problems. Do you? Anyone else have to do this?
Thanks,

Anyone -
Who sells a larger dimension wingtip lens kit for my HID
landing/nav/strobe light setup? I was going to cut a hole in the
leading edge for the old style landing light but now that the HID lights
are available I could fit the whole arrangement into a larger lens. The
old Van's kit I bought years ago isn't quite big enough nor is the new
fiberglass kit he has. Ideas? Thanks.

I just got done fixing this. The FAB didn't quite touch the cowl, but
after 10 hours I found a fair amount of rubbing on the left side of the
FAB. I cut out the offending area and re-glassed a little indentation
in the FAB. Probably easier than making a new mounting plate.
