(Matt Dralle) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:44:49 AM PST US From: "Valovich, Paul" Subject: RV-List: CT A-740 Cables Progress on my -8A is slow but steady - to the point where I'm addressing i ssues that were either postponed or lower priority. One of those is install ation of CT A-740 control cables to operate the cabin heat valve and the pa rking brake valve. I purchased two cables from Vans, but both are much long er that required. Seems like I have two options: 1. Rig a loop to eliminate the extra length 2. Cut the cable to length - with the "spring" covering shorter that the cable I prefer (2) but am unsure exactly of the best way to cut without damaging the actual cable. Any ideas?

I grabbed the knob and pulled the center wire completely out. Then cut the outer material to length with a Dremel and a cut off wheel. Put the center wire back in and eventually trim it as required. Truth be t old, I actually cut it twice. Once a little long just to be sure it fit, t hen to final length. If you are uncomfortable, you could start by cutting just an inch or so off for practice, and then verify everything is alright before you attempt a c ut to a more precise length. - Paul From: owner-rv-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv-list-server@matro nics.com] On Behalf Of Valovich, Paul Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 09:21 Subject: RV-List: CT A-740 Cables Progress on my -8A is slow but steady - to the point where I'm addressing i ssues that were either postponed or lower priority.

It was a duh!!! moment for me when somebody showed me. Measure to make sure you have correct inner cable length. Pull on control knob to bring inner cable back past point in sheath that you want to cut. I just used wire snips but others prefer dremel or min-cutoff wheel. If not sure, cut a little longer than you think you need. You can always trim a little more using same procedure. 4 cables done. All work fine.

This confirms what Bart had said regarding interfe rence ith the engine mount. It appears that I will have an extra 'C' sump as I will e purchasing the 'A' sump and pipes. One question remains. Charlie posted a link to IDGs Picasa web album that shows RV-8 engine installation with an IO-360 parallel valve with a 'C' sump achined to fit the fuel servo to the front. It appears there is clearance etween the rear of the sump and the engine mount. http://picasaweb.google.com/intelligentdesigngroup/FirewallForward#5311619 666248489490 Still head scratching... chris stone RV8 Oregon ----Original Message----- From: Greg Sent: Apr 7, 2010 12:47 PM Subject: RE: RV-List: IO360C1C6 to A1B6 I used a C model sump on my 1st RV-6. I had the front boss milled and tapp ed for studs to mount an Airflow Performance servo. That was on a parallel valve O-360 so I had to adjust the intake tubes and provide spacers to get them to fit. That shouldn't be needed on an angle valve engine. The down side for my -6 was the sump sits farther aft than the A model sump and I had to modify my engine mount to get clearance. I elected to go with an A sump on my rebuild which also has tubes made for the parallel valve engine. I have the C model sump available if you or anyone else is interested. It has been modified to add the oil bosses (I've forgotten if it was 1 or 2) for a Christen inverted system. The sump is magnesium as are the added bosses. Rear has a cover plate and the front is setup for the AFP servo. Contact me off list if interested.

Dear Listers, I wanted to check out the operation of all the various systems on the RV-8 now that the engine is running. For example, comparing the fuel flow and fuel pressure readings between the FuelChec DX and the GRT EFIS. I also wanted to run the engine up a little and make sure the CHT and EGT's were coming into a normal range and the all of the probes were working. Also, I wanted to see the oil pressure and temps in normal ranges after a bit of running. Finally, I wanted to check the engine RPM with the new TruTach II hand held optic tachometer. On April 13 2010 I hopped in the pilot's seat and fired up the IO-390 and went though some checks. I videoed the procedure and used the intercom to call out the various readings I was observing. If you select the 1080p version of the YouTube video, you can actually read most of the values right off the GRT EFIS displays! Towards the end of the video some music starts to play. This is coming from the Kenwood via the MP3 files on the 64GB thumb drive plugged into the panel via the PS3000 Intercom and is exactly what I'm hearing in the headphones.
