There should be an O ring installed on the inside of the prop shaft. Also, the torque should be on a decal on the cyliner of the prop. However, strongly recommend that you obtain the Hartzell Owners/Installation Manual 115 N gives all the requirements for installation, which is on line and available here: http://www.hartzellprop.com/product_support/sitelinks_prod_pricelist.htm Fly Safe. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt Dralle" Sent: Sunday, August 16, 2009 12:49 AM Subject: RV8-List: Gaskets For Constant Speed Props & Misc... > > > Is there a gasket to seal the CS prop to the crankshaft?

Hi Matt, I am a slow builder, so I am not sure I can answer this correctly. In the slow build, the ramp is riveted on before the side pieces, so it is regular bucked rivets. From the picture, I cannot tell if the platenuts for the pedals are installed. Also, several people have talked about vibration of the exhaust ramp. I ended up stuffing the area tightly with closed cell foam to reduced that tendency. Others have used expanding foam. Perhaps a QBuilder can answer this better?

I can't for the life of me figure out why they didn't rivet this already?? I hesitate to rivet it if there is something I'm suppose to do before it gets riveted on...? The aft side isn't riveted yet either and it looks like the only way this is going to be rivetable is with pop rivets. Is that true? Here are a couple of pictures of what I'm talking about.

Because the bolts for the prop require and "end-wrench" of sorts to tighten, it presents somewhat of a problem when trying to torque them. The manual shows an end-wrench looking thing that has the 7/16" on one end and a 3/8" drive on the other end. I looked though the Craftsman and Snapon web sites, but didn't find anything like this. Where might I buy one? Thanks!

Hey, first I wanted to say thanks for the feedback on all my other questions! So I ran the Governor cable today and it came out pretty nice and seems to work well. The only thing that seems a little 'if-y' is how I had to route the cable over the top of the oil sump. Is this SOP or should the cable be isolated from the sump some how? I guess I could make a standoff bracket to hold it up off the sump, but do I really need to? The cable is currently resting on the sump. Thanks!
