Hi Henry, Here's my 2 cents worth: , the clean *The rod bolt torque should be based on bolt stretch. You need to find out from carillo how much stretch there should be, and then measure it at certain

Jack, I found myself in that situation a couple of times when draining the tanks of a couple of Spitfires. The fuel had turned to paint thinner (or worse) and smelled pretty bad. Not finding anyplace

Thanks for the great information. My machinist called Carillo, the rod bolts I found in this engine are the best Carillo makes, their torque chart says the bolt can 100 ft lbs of torque. We were a b

That's really very cool that you have a machinest that is helpful. I hope you remember to have the big end resized after you increase the torque cause the big end will definatly be out of round. -- O

This is all good stuff ! my question is , after you hand crank for oil pressure , and start up ,how much oil pressure should you have at idle and , say 3000 rpm when warned up . I was told that if yo

Not sure about the rest of your questions, but: It's just the opposite. When cold, that oil acts like a 20 wt. (thinner viscosity the lower the number) to make starting easier and less strenuous on m

The engines we build usually have 50# of oil pressure at idle when hot , 70 oil. The pressure relief valve just gets a different setting for the different wieghts. of oil. We normally use 40 or 50 sa

Yeah, it was pretty neat doing the NASA stuff. It was for the Clark Research Center in Cleveland. They were doing high altitude pilotless aircraft and were using the Wankle engine turboed. They sent
