Use a lifting spring under the stone holder so the stone does not stop on the seat. BPE also made short stone holders so that a Sioux stone driver can be inserted in the cylinder bore. We have plans to unbarrel the head but to date have not done this. Please, PLEASE! Do not grind the face of the exhaust valve at 45 Deg. This causes a thin section under the valve head and the valve will fracture dropping the separated head into the cylinder and generally raise havoc inside the cylinder. The correct angle is 46 Deg. 15 minutes. Grind the seat the same angle. BPE has found several exhaust seats that were too wide, particularly on the outer edge, which can also cause some grief because the valve operates at a higher temperature than the seat and the valve then wants to seat in the wrong place relative to the seat when the engine is up to operating temperature. BPE has never seen evidence of an outer narrowing angle being applied by either Russia or Romania and at factory assemble outer narrowing may not be needed. But good shop practices require at least 1/64 outer margin, valve over seat. Monty Barrett Barrett Precision Engines, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: A.

Had a blast. Starting fuel injected M14 engines: Very easy. If you have a boost pump ( required for fuel injection ). 3-5 seconds of prime with mixture in ICO,then mixture to full rich, throttle cracked, ( not very much ), mags OFF, air valve and oil valve OPEN ( if equipped ), when engine hits both mags ON, Engine should start on 2 or 3 blades, If engine is warm, reduce the priming time. Set throttle where the engine will run 900-1100 RPM after the propeller comes out of high pitch until warmed up. Monty Barrett Barrett Precision Engines, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: A.

There may have been at one time. But Monty Barrett Sr. has developed a fuel nozzle that works perfectly with the M14 and has been tested in their engine test cell facility. I don't believe it is necessary to install the electronic ignition with the fuel injection. Although, for maximum efficiency and performance, both systems work very nicely together. A.

This airplane is quite a simple one, but you need to know more than a little bit about it. There are quite a number of very savvy systems guys around. You really do need to find such a person...and spend a bunch of time with him (or her). If you can arrange that, it should make you a much happier pilot AND you have a much higher chance of keeping your body and your airplane in an undamaged state.

This is why a thorough checkout in the airplane involves 5 hours of ground school and cockpit familiarization before cranking the engine and taking off for first flight.
