(2) I can hear the "whuffs" of compression/release, as I
turn
the eccentric shaft, even if I turn very slowly; but I can't
*see*
anything through the exhaust port that *looks* like a seal.
I know two
mm isn't much, but ... ??
Take another look.
You can easily see the apex seals pass the exhaust port on a turbo housing,
but you'll have to look around that splitter insert in the port of your
6-port. I'm pretty sure you'll still be able to see it though.
Will a leak/flow test be adequate to vet them?
Same-same for the oil
injectors; tubing to them is melted away,
except the last six or so inches
above the OMP.
The fuel injectors can be easily tested
by places such as RC Engineering, but I don't know if I've ever heard of
anyone testing an oil injector.
I suppose I
could
press an old AFB carburator into service as a TB only, but I
have a
feeling that I'll be in for a lot of fun getting things
like a TPS to work
with it. What have I overlooked here?
If you're using Tracy's EC-2, you won't
need a TPS.
BTW, my "complete" engine (full
intake, and exhaust plenum -
no accessories, like starter or alternator)
weighed 235 lbs. on
m 250 lb. shipping scale. Does that sound about
right (or do
I need to get my scale recalibrated)?
Sounds about right to me. The bare engine is about
190. Bet you can't wait to get in there and find out what shape that baby
is really in. Sounds promising. Good luck :-)
Cheers,
Rusty (I may be flying again by
SNF.... 2005)
