The International Cessna 170 Association

That is the explanation I wanted. I know I didn't word the question right, just a little off that night!! Thanks. Has anyone ever timed one on 26L&R? (or 28/28)I'm working on an air boat. w/0-300A. I'm thinking that to run pump gas (reg) it actually needs to be 26 L&R. I know the 4 cylinder ...

I found a PDF file that cleared up the timing issues with the 4 cyl and was wondering if there is similar information/procedures about the 0-300D to get the timing up on it. My 1961 172B had an AD on the cylinders complied with approx 375 hours before I purchased it. It has always run a little hot a...

I know a little about 6 cylinder engines and RPM, too. Here I am leaving the line @ 7,000 RPM In my National Record holding SuperStock Camaro. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZPI6eCN8pE My V-6 is tough on valve springs. Shifting @ 9400-9600 and crossing the finish line @ over 9600 with valve lifts n...

Just to let you guys know I understand who I am and yes, I might be in a analysis paralysis mode. (my Wife loves to throw that term at me) I'm the type guy that will not go into something unless I have ample information. It is something my Mechanical Engineering background and my work dealing with p...

OK, quick lesson in machine work. When you grind a 45 degree seat angle on the cylinder a normal grind will remove .005 to .010 material unless each seat is worn bad. In that case you will replace the seat and cut/grind it to the correct height. If you do replace the seat & the valve there will ...

What a small world! Very familiar with the Tackett's. One of their outlaw relatives is a customer of mine. I've built some Boat Race and HP Harley engines for him. John Tackett. I think Max was his Uncle. John is also an "outlaw" pilot. His son, Cody, is helping a few of us guys get a Jet ...

No problem to test. I have the proper equipment at my shop. I even have on engine spring removal& spring height tools. I have my business where I machine and build race engines. I just needed the correct specs. The manual I bought was very incomplete. It was copies of an original manual. Lots of...

Where can a guy get information about 0-300D valve springs? My engine has had an AD on the cylinders and I suspect the springs are not installed to the correct installed height and the pressure is down. I've bought an 0-300 engine CD & a manual, but they don't cover that info on the valve spring...

Dave,
Looking forward to meeting you. Sounds like our lives might have circled the pattern!!
When are you planning to have the fly in?
Let me know what Donna and I should bring. Food? Cook out supplies? Stuff?

Wow, Dave It Is a small world. I was born in the OLD Texarkana Hospital before it closed and everything moved to Wadley. I bet I know some of the same people your Dad knows. I didn't get the chance to play for THS. Grand Pa had a sawmill on the west side of town that was in Liberty-Eylau district. H...

A real Razorback!!(1961) It is in my blood line, too. Mom was born in Garner, AR Even my wife is a Good old Country mouse from Horatio AR. Does that help make up for not having a 170?

If a 172 is welcome it is just a short hop for me, too...There is a PaPaw and Granny here, too

Does the Flex seal work as a "Cure All" on the planes extreior like MM does for the engine?
Is it a "Must Have" for the hanger?

I owned my own crank grinder for many years. I used it in my race Engine business. yes, you can grind a certain amount of bend out of a crank and you can correct the index & correct the stroke by grinding, but..... you can't grind metal into an area where it isn't and is supposed to be. I'm sayi...

Sun Glasses and lip stick that doesn't belong to my wife. Girlfriend said she didn't leave them, either. Makes you go Humm!
