| Subject: | Back with you guys! |
Hi! I've been away from the list since a few years. I have flown my CH601-HD
for more than 400 hours now with the Subaru engine.
About three years ago, I bought a Franklin 4a-235-b31 engine that has been sitting
in my garage since. Well, don't know why, but I got a spur of motivation
to work again on the plane. So, I hope to install the new engine this year.
Can't believe how expensive are aircraft engine accessories!
The Subaru still runs well. For the first few years, I have valve issues (valve
seats were burning). Since this has been resolved, it requires nearly no maintenance,
except for my reduction drive that needs a shaft resleeve every 100
hours or so (the lower front bearing becomes slack). This setup may be for
sale eventually (along with boxes of spare parts including a complete 2nd engine
block).
Anyway, I don't know how much good stuff I missed from this list, but I'll try
to keep up to date and contribute.
Cheers!

Hi Michel,
It has been a while. Could you elaborate more on the shaft re-sleeve?
I've not heard of that one before now. I've only 150 hours on my
601HDS/Subaru and
it's been rather trouble free, save replacing one belt and consumables
after 5 years. Are you burning mostly 100LL?

I have a Dave Johnson reduction drive which has a bearing in front of the lower
pulley. After a while, no matter how tight the fitting of the bearing is on
the shaft, it starts to slip on the shaft. I also tried with the shaft/bearing
assembly compound from Permatex... my machine shop believes that this is because
it is a ball or roller bearing while the engine includes a different bearing
design and the is a small movement of the shaft relative to the bearing assembly
(shaft clearance in the engine is about .002 if I remember.
