    Is anyone out there flying either a Housai or M-14 with Bill's new tuned exhaust? I am wondering what performance increase you've seen AND what is the change in exhaust noise (how much louder is it). Thanks, Craig Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=229320#229320

    My concern, after looking at the pictures of the system, on the typical M-14P without gapless rings is the potential of a hydraulic lock on the bottom cylinders that can't drain and puke out the occasional glug of oil they all do when pulling them through. If it didn't cause a lock, the top of the wings would have a nice slick black walkway after startup.

    Sorry not making those, too many people either just put on one or both canopies and it just makes it too much trouble at the moment.

    That's why the oil drain kit is a must - AND it's also a must to be used CORRECTLY! i.e. Open after engine shutdown and LEAVE open. Only close after pulling through before start. -----Original Message----- From: owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-yak-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Mark Davis Sent: 09 February 2009 15:53 Subject: Re: Yak-List: Blackwell Exhaust My concern, after looking at the pictures of the system, on the typical M-14P without gapless rings is the potential of a hydraulic lock on the bottom cylinders that can't drain and puke out the occasional glug of oil they all do when pulling them through.

    Nigel, Even with the oil drain kit in the lower intake tubes opened up on shutdown, I still get oil out of the stacks at times. That's the oil I'm worried about backing up into the cylinders or blowing on top of the wing. Exhaust side, not intake side. On the stock exhaust system any oil that leaks down into a cylinder with an open exhaust valve can just let gravity do its thing and run on out just like the oil does on the intake side with a drain kit.

    Subject: CJ Main Switch Panel Placard
    Gang, We can now do custom switch placards for your CJ. These placards compliment our CJ placard system and are done in a metal photo process that is just as clean as silk screening and lasts 15 years in direct sunlight. The placards are in the same style as the original old style CJ placards (old style was black metal with letters in silver relief...newer style is paper). A sample is attached. We will recreate this to match the switches in YOUR airplane. Cost, including artwork, is $165. Please email me off list if you are interested. A complete set of placards can also be done for the Yak, but would need at least 10 orders to cover initial set up (approx. 20 hours @ $50/hr.). Happy flying, Barry

    Yes, so do I. That oil is from the inlets that can't be sucked up from the inlets just by pulling through - so it gets pulled into the cylinders on start. Because of the drain kit, (in theory) the amount of oil left in the inlets is too small to hydraulic a cylinder. Even if the oil backs up on the exhaust side, surely the pull through is going to force it out of the cylinder via the exhaust valve exhaust anyway? And then the exhaust valve closes stopping that oil coming back in. The next stroke is induction (exhaust valve still closed), and the next compression (still closed). The hydraulic lock only happens on the compression - so the only way oil can come in for that is from the INLET side - hence the drains being on the inlets. Or am I missing something here?

    The Blackwell exhaust system has a drain built into it. Any headers with a low spot are connected to the exhaust drains. Different from the intake drain since it is high temp. It prevents any oil from ever building up in the exhaust system. T-28 has a similar system if I recall, although they just have holes in the exhaust. Blackwells system drains to a common point. Actually makes the airplane very tidy. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=229397#229397

    All true Nigel. But what happens if the piston is already on the compression stroke while pulling the prop through and there is sufficient oil collected in the combustion chamber when the piston gets to close to TDC? Then it's too late for an opening exhaust valve to be of any benefit.
