I just received a very distressing "heads up" from a buddy in the FAA. He says
it will become an AD very soon. Can anyone provide any additional information

--> RV-List message posted by: "Condon, Philip M." <pcondon@mitre.org>
Does the extra 7 CID per cylinder yield 5% improvement in total ??? Or
is it more likely a new engine (proper compression and all that)is
responsible for the performance increase......
Is the I/O 390 an angle valve engine ? Was the 360 a parallel of angle
valve engine ??
.......................................................................
................
Dana,
I put approximately 300 hours on the IO360 before converting to the
IO390.
The IO390 added approximately 5% in all parameters.

Hey fellow RV'ers,
I have an RV6A with a stock O320 A2D engine that I have been flying for 4 years
without so much as a stumble. Over the past month or so, I have been experiencing
a problem with my engine losing power/dying when I pull power back for landing
and then try to re-apply power. I have replaced the carb with a known
good one, replaced the air filter, cleaned spark plugs, check hoses and bolts
for tightness. Fuel pressure stays solid at 8-10 psi with booster pump running.
I am at wits end trying to figure this one out. I have played with the mixture
and carb heat. Nothing seams to correct this recently developed problem.
Has anyone out there ever experienced this? And if so what was the problem/fix?
All inputs appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jimmy,
The O-360 in my RV-6A needed to have the intake hose couplings replaced on
the intake tubes near the oil sump.
I also found I had a loose intake tube in the oil sump on number 3 cylinder.
Another source of an induction air leak. The number 3 cylinder was peaking
much earlier than the other 3 cylinders.
Regards,
Jim Ayers

I experienced something similar flying a rental plane with an
IO-240 - took the FBO months to figure it out - in the end
turned out to be a cracked exhaust manifold - or so I was told.
The engine didn't actually quit but it coughed and shuddered in
a very scarey way when re-applying power on the go-around.
Something to check maybe ...

There are certain 360 engines that will need a new
crankshaft put in. Engines built after 1999 are
affected.

We've used the same stuff, but found it comes loose with just the sticky
stuff on. So we glued the edges with red RTV, no more problems.

I have the same oil breather drip system and have noticed no smell at all.
I also have sticky backed aluminum sheet lining the "hot spots" on the
inside of my cowl to protect the fiberglass from exhaust heat which does
work well. There is about 1" square that has received some heat and after
100 hrs this spot has discolored so there is heat present there. The
aluminum sheet is available from Vans and is cheap.

The Gist of the SB: it has been a mandatory SB since last summer, the FAA
is about to make it an Airworthiness Directive. It involves Lycoming 360
thru 540 counterweighted engines, mostly Fuel Injected engines. Get the SB
and check if you engine is affected. As I read the SB, Lycoming is paying
for the replacement and shipping.
FYI, O360 A1A, A1D are not affected.
For those who want to get mad as (fill in the blank), I did that last
summer. How can a manufacturer charge so much for a product that is
defective? I guess as long as they are paying, it is not as bad as if the
owner had to pay for the replacement.

Yeah, but Bob, with that logic, you should never have to repair a Ferrari or a

I just decided I wanted to go to Oshkosh this year (24th-28th). However, every
hotel is booked. Every hotel within 20 miles is also booked.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I do not want to rent a car (dont know if I
even could since the hotel operators told me those were
also booked). Do you really have to plan for this over a year in advance in order
to go? (and be within shuttle distance so you dont have to
rent a car)

I just decided I wanted to go to Oshkosh this year (24th-28th). However,
every hotel is booked. Every hotel within 20 miles is also booked.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I do not want to rent a car (dont
know if I even could since the hotel operators told me those were
also booked). Do you really have to plan for this over a year in advance
in order to go? (and be within shuttle distance so you dont have to

Good one.
But, at the same time, it's not really a fair comparison. You don't
necessarily expect reliability from a Ferrari or Lamborghini, you're more
interested in the exotic-ness or uniqueness of the product. Contrarily, with a
Lycoming, reliability is one of the princpal justifications for the cost.
But I was pleased to see that Lycoming is picking up the cost (or some of it,
anyway).

Twice I decided to go to OSH at the last minute and had a rental car and hotel.
Might not be the nicest room butt.....I found a room a few years ago in Appleton.
Car rental I got right at OSH it was not a problem. Just get on the phone
and start calling.
Here is a little info. The way I understand it ALL hotel rooms in Oshkosh are
booked by the city and then rented back out through the hotel at higher rates.
So start looking for a room out side of Oshkosh county. If you dont mind driving
30 minutes I am sure you can find a room.

Last year was my first year going to OSH. We stayed in Green Bay. It was
about a 50 minute drive (If I remember right), and we had a nice clean room
to stay in. We would get to OSH early enough to get "decent" parking and
we'd still be completely worn out at the end of the day. I will definitely
go the camping route when I get my RV-10 built but until then I'll probably
continue to stay out of town. It's not that big of a deal.

Dave,
You might be able to get something useful by searching the archives on "new
asi calibration". See Kevin Horton's article where he lists the airspeed in
knots and MPH for a number of water column differentials. A differential of
just 31 inches of water represents an airspeed of 250 MPH, so a few yards of
plastic tubing along with a yard stick plus whatever is required to
interface to your pitot tube, is all you need.
I built the test device but at the time, my system leaked down too fast to
get perfect results - as I was working solo.
I think Kevin got his numbers from a MIL specification.

It did, but I got two different airspeed indications & I'm wondering if the
UMA unit I bought from Vans can be adjusted. The UMA said I was using a 103
kt balloon but the Dynon D10 said I was using a 109 kt balloon. Have any of
you observed differences like these? Which was the most reliable? Anyone
know of a book full of numbers and equations that would give me the air
pressure that corresponds to 110 kt? It seems to me that a test pilot
oriented book of that sort would be pretty useful during the coming months.

Try to find an intake leak. Check compression and timing to eliminate all
the easy items that would cause trouble. Has your exhaust gas temp gone up?
Has your fuel burn increased? Does it miss at idle or any other RPM? Give us
more to go on.

Mike,
Thanks for your input. I will give you as much info as I can.
1. I haven't put a gauge on it, but compression seems normal on all
cylinders when pulling prop through.
2. Don't have EGT gauge.
3. Have not noticed any change in fuel burn.
4. Does not miss at idle when cold, however, after the problem develops, it
is hard to start and runs rough at all power settings including idle.
This past weekend after once around the patch, the engine starting showing
the problem again. So I took it up to around 5000 msl and repeated running
at full power, pulling back to idle, and then re-applying power at different
mixture settings and with/without carb heat. The engine consistently lost
power completely (to the point of almost dying) and then gradually came back
to full power. It really didn't like the carb heat and seemed to be worse
with the leaner settings, but still did the same thing at full rich although
to a lesser degree.
I have pulled the spark plugs and cleaned them, although I did not find any
of them dirty or fouled.
I replaced the carb, air filter, checked all intake tube clamps for
tightness. Checked fuel inlet screen for cleanliness.
If you (or anyone) has more questions, please let me know. I have got to
get this problem corrected.
Thanks again, Jimmy

Very difficult to diagnose trouble like this without at least an EGT
gauge. It sounds an awful lot like an induction leak to me on one or
more cylinders, especially given the list of things you've already done.
A multi-point EGT gauge would pinpoint this in a heartbeat with
increased EGT and CHTs on the affected cylinder(s).
You can sometimes pinpoint an induction leak with soapy water and a shop
vac blowing filtered air into the induction system to pressurize it.
Just spray the intake runners, intake ports, and any other connection
points with soapy water solution and look for bubbles

Jimmy,
This statement: "seemed to be worse with the leaner settings"
would support the possibility of an intake leak. However you did suggest
you checked the intake clamps, you might want to look a little deeper in
that direction.

1. I haven't put a gauge on it, but compression seems normal on all
cylinders when pulling prop through.
2. Don't have EGT gauge.
3. Have not noticed any change in fuel burn.
4. Does not miss at idle when cold, however, after the problem develops, it
is hard to start and runs rough at all power settings including idle.
This past weekend after once around the patch, the engine starting showing
the problem again. So I took it up to around 5000 msl and repeated running
at full power, pulling back to idle, and then re-applying power at different
mixture settings and with/without carb heat. The engine consistently lost
power completely (to the point of almost dying) and then gradually came back
to full power. It really didn't like the carb heat and seemed to be worse
with the leaner settings, but still did the same thing at full rich although
to a lesser degree.
I have pulled the spark plugs and cleaned them, although I did not find any
of them dirty or fouled.
I replaced the carb, air filter, checked all intake tube clamps for
tightness. Checked fuel inlet screen for cleanliness.
If you (or anyone) has more questions, please let me know. I have got to
get this problem corrected.
Thanks again, Jimmy

Try to find an intake leak. Check compression and timing to eliminate all
the easy items that would cause trouble. Has your exhaust gas temp gone up?
Has your fuel burn increased? Does it miss at idle or any other RPM? Give us
more to go on.

Green Bay is an easy commute from OSH, and you can probably still get a room
there. Honestly, having been to OSH 3 times now, twice tenting on-site, and
this past year in Green Bay, the Green Bay experience was by far the best.
We found it nice to get away from OSH in the evenings. The GB airport was
very nice, and FAR less congested than OSH. There was a shuttle from our
hotel in GB, although we chose to rent a car. Have fun.

Disconnect the fuel line from the carb, put it in an accurate gallon
measuring jug, turn the aux fuel pump on for exactly one minute, measure the
output, and multiply by 60 to get your gph. You should have at LEAST 25 gph.
This will ensure that you're getting enough fuel, good idea to eliminate
that variable too.

Howdy Matt-
IMHO, there is ONLY one way to "do" Oshkosh- stay right there! Depending on
your perspective, naturally, camping in Camp Scholler is almost as good as the
best 5-star hotel, (did it 7 times until plane was flyable) and last two
years camping with the plane. No hassles with rental car, parking, reservations,
etc. and the best of all you are right there the whole time. If you have some
basic gear (tent, bag, mosquito repellant, shade, bike, adult beverage) you
are good to go. "Food" is right at the field, the Red Barn has anything else
you could possibly need (really! well, maybe not female companionship...) and
you WILL meet some unforgettable people. If you live close enough to "taxi" to
OSH, it's the only way to go. And you'll save a HUGE amount of $$$ better
spent on the RV.
Picture this: It's about 3:30 and the airshow is starting- hot as hell and
you've pounded the grounds since yodel-time and you're starting to get burnt
out. Ride your bike (these are essential if you are Camp Schollering) back to
your canopy (shade is a requirement) and indulge in adult beverage while taking
in the airshow from the comfort of your own lawn chair! After the show,
watch mass-departure, then as the sun lowers, mosey down to the flight line to
score the arrivals until the field shuts down, then wander the antique area
talking to old-timers about the relics they lovingly restored and flew to the show.
Priceless.
And much cheaper than the motel/rental car/parking/restaurant/etc of the
"others"!

Jim,
One more thing- there is a good reference to a useful trick for finding
induction and exhaust system leaks here: http://www.bvila.net/page33.html
Ten bucks says it's an induction leak, and that even a good visual
inspection and clamp tightening will probably turn up the culprit.

Jimmy,
Pardon me if I missed any discussion about ignition. How does it behave
with one or the other mag (or whatever you have) shut down? Ignition
timing, has that been checked? Any chance for moisture anywhere in the high
voltage side of things (it can do very strange things)?

Matt,
If you're flying in and NOT taking the spouse, absolutely camp on the
field. The total experience is great.
If your spouse is going, try to find people you know renting a house and
get a room with them. That's what we do and the wives love it. Dinner
out every night, airport stuff all day.
Be sure and use the housing resources on the EAA site, we've had great
luck with them (but these guys are right, getting hotel room anywhere
close is not likely unless you know someone).

I just decided I wanted to go to Oshkosh this year (24th-28th). However,
every hotel is booked. Every hotel within 20 miles is also booked.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I do not want to rent a car (dont
know if I even could since the hotel operators told me those were also
booked). Do you really have to plan for this over a year in advance in
order to go? (and be within shuttle distance so you dont have to rent a

University of Wisconsin Oshkosh dorms should be available with bus
shuttles.
Ripon College (25 miles) is another good alternative (cheaper) but car
required.

That would be nice but I have to fly commercially to get there so I would not be
able to bring camping gear. I live in Central California.

Jimmy, Don't assume that the correct fuel pressure means you have the correct fuel
flow. Test the flow at the input to the carb. If the flow is correct, you
can easily find induction leaks with a can of starting fluid. I remove the cowling,
start the engine and let it idle. Spray starting fluid around the connections
at the sump and at the heads and listen for an rpm increase. If you have
a leak, I guarantee you'll find it!!! Just make sure you stay away from the prop.

Each time I fly in commercially I fly into Chicago direct
from LAX. Rent a car with at O'hare, get a cheap one. The
drive from Chicago to OSH is a nice one. I bring my backpack with
clothes for 3-4 days, shorts, socks, shoes, misc and buy what I
need at Walmart or the show; t-shirts. I bring a tent in my
backpack. Buy a cheapo cooler and a decent folding chair from
Walmart and ice and beer and snacks. Take the car each night
and have a good meal. Eat lunch and b-fast at the show.
Leave/donate the stuff you don't want to take back with you
(cooler, chairs).
The only real expense is the show and car. If you can meet
your buddies in Chicago you can split the car. Works well
every time (twice). Also having a car allows you to stash
valuables that might get stolen (not by pilots though).
This is the year for nuking the commercial stuff for me :)
See you there.

Baloney! I have camped at OSH when I flew commercial. Once by myself
and once with the whole family (my wife and I and two adult sons). Just
get a big duffel bag and fill it with your tent, sleeping bag,
collapsible chair and clothes. I even have a collapsible cooler that I
bring.

Sound like there is a leak in the intake system. When
the carb is closed, the needle goes leaner due to the
high vacuum. Add air from a leak, engine goes
severely lean.

Matt: I've got an extra tent and I always get an extra camping spot for the
Rv7 Barbecue.You're certainly welcome to occupy it during your stay.
I also have a two bedroom tent and I doubt I'll have anyone going with me
this year.

| Subject: | All New BBS Interface For Matronics List Forums! |
--> RV-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com>
Dear Listers,
I'm very proud to announce a completely new BBS interface is now available for
all of the Email Lists at Matronics! This is a full-featured system that allows
for viewing, posting, attachments, polls - the works.
But the best part is that it is *completely* integrated with all of the existing
email tools currently available at Matronics! What this means at the most basic
level is that, if you post a message to List from Email in the traditional
way, it will show up on the BBS system *and* get distributed to everyone currently
subscribed to the Email List. By the same token, if you are on the BBS
and post a message to a given List-Forum, the message will not only show up on
the BBS, but also be distributed to everyone on the Email List!!
It is really a very nice implementation and I am very pleased with its operation.
All of the tools you have come to know and love such as the List Search Engine
and List Browse and Download will still be available and contain all of the
latest posts. Think of the new BBS interface as just another method of accessing
the all of the Lists.
You can use the BBS to view all of the latest posts without having to do anything
except use your browser to surf over to the site. You can view and look at
all of the various List's posts. If you want to post a new message or reply
to an existing message from the BBS, you will have to Register on the BBS. This
is a *very* simple process and will only take a couple of minutes. There is
a small icon in the upper righthand side of the main BBS page labeled "Register"
to get you started.
I strongly recommend that you use the exact *same* email address you are subscribed
to the Email Lists with when registering on the BBS. Also, while not an
absolute requirement, I would really appreciate it if people would use their full
name when choosing their Username on the BBS (for example "Matt Dralle").
This just makes it easier for everyone to know who's posting. Also, I have enabled
the ability to upload a small user picture with your profile called an
"avatar". Please use a *real* picture of yourself *with* your cloths on! Thank
you! Maximum size of the bitmap is 120x120.
You can either be subscribed to the BBS, or any number of Email Lists, or both.
Registering on the BBS will allow you to email directly to all of the various
Lists. However, to receive direct List Email, you will need to be *subscribed*
to the various Lists as you have in the past. No changes here in operation.
I have added numerous links on the BBS pointing to the Email List subscription
page.
I've had the BBS connected to the Lists for about a week now, so its already loaded
up with a fair number of messages. You can post photos and other documents
directly to the BBS and links to them will appear in the List Email distributions.
Also, when any messages posted to the BBS are viewed in the List Email
distribution, there will be a URL link at the bottom of the message pointing
back to the BBS.
And here's what you've been waiting for -- the main URL for the new Matronics Email
List BBS is:
http://forums.matronics.com
Please surf on over, Register, and have a great time! I think this will be the
dawn of a whole new era for the Lists at Matronics!
Best regards,
Matt Dralle

If I can bring a tent, 2 bags, clothes for me *and* my wife for a week
(complete with wife) and a soft-side cooler AND munchies in an RV-4,
without going over gross, you can fly commercially with camping gear
without paying any excess baggage penalties.

I've done that too, but it is rather expensive since you have to rent
for a minimum of one week. No more so than a hotel room and a car, but
you can rent those for less than one week.
