Guys
Since it is not in the Van's RV-10 manual, does anybody have a drawing that shows
the hardware used to install the 4 engine mount bosses to the Lyco 540 engine?
I suppose that I have to use 16 nuts + 16 flat washers + 16 star washers, but I
want to be sure which, and in what order.
On the other hand, what is to tool to use to tighten the 2 inner nuts of each of
the 4 mount bosses?
Specially the ones on the engine bottom?
Best
Carlos

I finally got frustrated enough this weekend to ask a question of
anyone who has a good answer.
For grease guns, I went to the local farm and barn type store
and got a couple of what looked like pretty good guns.
But, while I've had good luck with the grease gun that I use
for my wheel bearings and nose swivel area, which I use a
different grease for, I have HORRIBLE luck with my grease
gun that I use with Aeroshell 6.
The gun that is giving me issues is basically this one:
http://www.mastertectools.net/image_atus/31004.jpg
It's got the loader fitting on top that I never use, and a bleed
pushbutton to purge air.
I tore it all apart this weekend again and it appears that
just a spring pushes the plunger up to force grease up to the top
section where if it enters a hole, squeezing the handle will
push a piston forward and inject the grease.
Stupid simple.
The issue mainly seems to be that Aeroshell 6 is just so
thick that it doesn't flow up into that cavity.
I was able to work around it this weekend by repeatedly
unscrewing the top a few threads, which would help
allow the spring to push grease up, then crank the top
back down on the gun. The added pressure on the grease
made it flow into the orifice and then it would pump.
But, I had to repeat this every pumping.
I'm about to throw this thing out the window. Is there
something I'm missing? (The seal on the plunger does
also seem to seal into the grease tube BTW...it's a
rubber sealed plunger head.)
Or does everyone have a problem with this thick
Aeroshell 6?
If someone has a great grease gun that works real well,
send me a link to it...I'd be happy to just buy one
if it will give me a much more enjoyable greasing
experience.
Tim

You need to get all the air out of the upper chamber. Take the hose
off, squeeze the handle and hold it while you put your finger over the
outlet so air doesn't go back in. Repeat as often as necessary. Make
sure there isn't any air space in the hose, put it back on and it should
be OK.
Linn .... lots of foul language at grease guns.

Are you talking about the fittings on the engine? Those would be in the
engine overhaul manual.
If you are talking about bolting the engine to the engine mount with the
shock disks between the two, that is in the plans.

That=99s right, I am talking about the =9Cears=9D that
the isolation rubber mounts attach to.
Each of these 4 =9Cears=9D are attached to the engine (which
has 4 studs) with 4 nuts and washers, and that=99s what I
don=99t know the order.
I suppose it=99s first the flat washer, then the star washer, then
the nut . Right?

Hey Carlos,
I've searched the manual, no pictures of the "ear mounts", but basically "yes"
always install lock washers next to the nut. The purpose of the lock washer is
to grab the nut to keep it from backing off. Hope that addresses your issue.

I just took mine off today to attach a better ground path to the block. Mi

I need to check the torque in the manual to confirm it's 100% correct, but I
torqued the nuts to 15.5 lbs per Vans Section 5 torque specs.

I got back to the house tonight where I can see the Lycoming overhaul
manual. The correct torque for the 3/8" bolt is 300 in/lb.
My 'ears' only have 2 studs to put nuts on and they're 3/8. If you've got
4 studs, then I'm not sure what yours are. So here's the entire torque
limit chart in the manual if yours are different.

Tim,
I fought the same problem for years - couldn't reliably burp all the air
out of the gun, so it would stop pumping.
Then somebody showed me that it is possible (at least on my gun, I
understand this is a common feature) to turn the plunger handle to just
the right location so it will engage with the grease puck, allowing the
operator to push on the end of the plunger handle and apply extra force
to the grease column. Then you can operate the lever (or use the air
burp fitting, if so equipped) to get a nice air-free column of grease
flowing.
In practice: rotate the plunger handle a little, push on it, see if
there is resistance. If not, turn more and try again. Repeat until the
plunger handle is locked to the grease puck.
