Mornin' all,
While I appreciate all the reassurance of
how easy the engine is to rebuild, that isn't the problem. I've got all
the tools, and have watched Bruce's video a couple times. I've even taken
engines apart, and done mock assemblies. The only thing I haven't
done is actually put one together for real, but I have no doubt that I can do
that.
The problem is that the "weekend" it will
take, will last at least a month because I would send my rotors off to
be ceramic coated. If I were to tear it down, I'd also replace
the apex seals with the new indestructible ones, because some day there's
going to be a supercharger on this engine :-) While these upgrades are
another reason to want to tear the engine down, Murphy's law states that my
engine components will be laying all over the hanger when the county tells me to
vacate. It's already going to be a nightmare to move all my stuff
out, and I don't want the complication of trying to pack all this extra stuff
up, and move it. I sure will be glad when the hanger is rebuilt. If
I decide to do the tear down, I'll probably just finish packing up my hanger
crap, and walk away from the RV-3 until the hanger is
finished.
Once again, thanks for the comments.
It doesn't sound like there's any clear consensus on which way to go, so I'll
just have to think about it, and make a decision. Maybe the contents of
the oil filter will make the decision for me, though that could only be in a bad
way.
Cheers,
Rusty
