--> Stratus-List message posted by: "John Mckiernan" <ROCKYJS@peoplepc.com>
I've had an intermittant overheating problem and have broken down my Stratus EA-81
engine. This block had previous work done that left the #3 cylinder deck with
a dip in it. I was burning water in this cylider. It also had passed some
metal of some sort thru the left side and dinged the #1 and #3 pistons. I need
a new block as well as a total rebuild. Crank, Rods, Cam and heads are OK.
My idea is to get a running car motor and rebuild using my heads and possibly
crank and cam.
1. Does anyone have a good source for parts? ie master rebuild
2. How do you identify the year of the EA-81 engine? numbers etc. Are they
all the same as far as accessory locations, so I can use my Alt, redrive
etc. 3. If I opt to purchase a rebuilt engine any recommendations
4. I would also like to have new mounts manufactured as I am not happy with
the quality of this metal
Thanks
John

www.ramengines.com has all parts and rebuilt blocks too. if you want more
power, it would be a good time to switch to dual port heads and new cam but
that will get expensive.
i heard there is no way to get year info off of the block. there are slight
differences in pistons and valve sizes i think but the blocks are all the
same. dig thru airsoob archives for lots of info of some contact magazine
articles.
NSI might be selling mounts separately or Neil at Autoflight (same mount as
SUB4 bed mount). no websites handy but i have them at work. there is a
slight chance that I might be selling my stratus but i don't know yet.
sorry, not much info but it's a start.
