I am removing my Continental 0-200, accessories, and the firewall forward from
my CH701. The engine was "0" timed in 1993 (as far as my understanding but verify
with me if it is critical) , and currently has slightly less than 400 hours.
The engine itself is certified, but the electrical accessories, a B&C lightweight
starter and B&C 8 amp alternator, are not. The alternator keeps up with
landing lights, strobes, portable radio, electric fuel pump, at cruise RPM's,
but with these loads at taxi it is not large enough to charge. Complete logs
from "0" time. I can't find records of the mags (and can't remember right
now if the are Slick or Bendix). MS carburetor.
The engine runs perfectly. The oil pressure is right where you'd expect a new
engine to operate. The cylinders are chrome. Oil consumption is appx 8-12 hours
per quart. This engine has the Continental $200 + breather elbow found in
0-200 powered C-150 Aerobats. Oil Cooler. Last annual 4/2008 compressions
were low to mid 70's/80. Relatively dry inside cowling. Always a spot on concrete
from breather tube when parked
Warp Drive composite ground adjustable 3 blade prop.
Engine mount, pressure cowling for CH 701 if wanted.
This engine is currently installed and flown appx every two weeks. I intend to
remove it in April.
If you are really serious about a potential purchase, would like scanned images
of the logs, would like videos of it operating, pictures of the installation,
or would like to come inspect please contact me.
Asking $8300 for all. I'd rather sell everything all at once. I plan to advertise
on Barnstormers, engine/accessories only for $7800, in the next couple of
weeks. If interested leave message at (435)-734-2050 or email djonesutah@digis.net.
The engine is in Northern Utah.

There's some serious opportunity for learning here.
Would be interesting to see the differences between the various deburring techniques.
I can't help but to wonder what a reamed spar bolt hole would look like under extreme
magnification. Or the contents of an oil filter after first engine startup.
Or is Nuvite really the best polishing stuff.
The possibilities would be endless....
Any ideas on how much a good electron microscope costs? I wonder if a guy could
build one?

| Subject: | Corv-oil Filler Tube |
Before I modify my Corvair with my trusty chainsaw and sledgehammer, I
thought I'd ask a few questions: What's the consensus on placement of
the filler tube? I've been thinking of either setting the tube at the
top rear of one of the valve covers, or shortening it way down, and
setting it somewhere in the flat top cover. Since I'm not yet quite sure
how much space I'll need for the alternator, and exactly how much space
will be available, I thought I'd ask and avoid the "Oh, *&#" moment
that invariably follows blazing new trails over the cliff. Also, if you
remove the horizontal oil filter adapter, and hang the filter vertical,
is there still enough room for the rear accessory pulley? And, finally,
I don't see any need for the old Delcotron saddle. Anybody have a
problem with sawing it off?
Thanks,
Paul Rodriguez

Maybe I can make a small contribution here:? I spent much of my past life using
an assortment of light and electron microscopes to help solve problems.? While
scanning electron microscopy is a powerful tool (as Ben so beautifully demonstrates)
my favorite instrument has always been the simple stereomicroscope.?
Like SEM, these are used to study the surface of things. They have a large working
distance and require no sample preparation.? You can get a high quality used
one or a low quality new one for a few hundred dollars.? At home, mine gets
used for removing splinters and what not.? In the shop, I have used it to help
make personal judgements on some of the issues we obsess about.
At my hanger, I use it to examine oil filters from my certificated ship.? The good
folks at Sacramento Sky Ranch provide good counsel on simple physical and
chemical tests one can use to help identify unknown particles. (link below).
If you have kids around, the stereomicroscope is great for motivating them about
science. Basically anything examined under a stereomicroscope is amusing, but
biological stuff is best.? For man made things, the closer you look, the more
ragged it appears.? For anything biological, the closer you look, the more wondrous
it becomes.
Even cheaper and easier, I sometimes find that questions can be resolved by examination
with cheap reading glasses with crazy high diopter.? Helps my welding
as well.? Sorry for rambling.
Cheers,
Bill
