$1,000 in labor? How could they rack up that much labor if they did what a Shop should do and check all the parts that wear first before digging deeper into it. I’d send them a email in writing asking for a detailed explanation of expenses and then a credit card to get it out. If the reason they states, fine if it’s decided after talking to a 2nd opinion that they were screwing you out of a majority of the 1amu then call your credit card company and dispute it. They will most likely side with you, and reverse the entire charge. I hate it when company’s hold your parts hostage. They better have a explicit terms and conditions policy to back up holding your prop hostage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

My mechanic checks these at every oil change. Finds them loose about every 150 hours. Prevention = check check and check again! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’ve been happy. About 400 hours on the overhaul and it’s faster than than prior with 1qt in 10 hours at max cruise. In my opinion they delivered everything they promised to me. Take care. And the paint job on the engine. Wow. Looked like it came from lycoming. Aaron Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Way to go. She is a good conservative pilot, she will do fine. Little bit at a time. I’ve flown a couple hundred real approaches. Not sure if I️ love or hate that feeling of flying in the clouds. Certainly don’t feel “comfortable”, probably next will. That might be a good thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Tx_aggie, that term wore our bugs me a bit. Yes beyond mfg. recommended overhaul but I’d put a Ben Franklin on it that the engine on a dyno would put out similar power to a fresh overhaul engine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yesterdays night landing (returning home) to KRST ILS 13 approach down to 100’ and 2400rvr. Never had it where I could t see the tower after landing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Time for a fuel pressure regulator is my guess. I think what your seeing is the pulsation of the mechanical fuel pump which the fuel pressure regulator should isolate. Does it do that with the electric pump on? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Scott flaps up at 100mph. It’s a good speed where the angle of attack after a full flap retraction in one motion (going from take off flaps to flaps up all at once) won’t give excess angle of attack (for view and drag). Wheels up at positive rate of climb then looking for 100mph. 90 seems to slow and 110mph and flaps are starting to create quite a bit of drag. Some of these guys who are flying more than 200hp our front don’t notice this as much and seem to end up retracting at higher speeds if left to the seat of the pants “feel”.

Did a step climb in the natural aspirated J to FL210 then to FL230 going east bound from MN to New York. Huge tail wind like 100kts so it made sense. By myself, fl210 didn’t take too long. Ran 2 hours to burn off some fuel then got approval from ATC for slow climb to FL230. A “C” ain’t to far behind a J in power and it’s lighter too. You will make it.

Good people I flew up there 4 years ago and the owner son came out to my plane to help adjust the 77j pattern custom fir to my plane. Awesome carpet good people. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya but the EI only fires one plug, sooner. All being equivalent one firing at say 25btdc and one at 20 makes for a delta somewhere in between? Plus isn't it more efficient to have the flame fronts meet each other than have to spread all the way across our coffee can size cylinders which is why both plugs aren't mounted near each other. Now if EI could ramp up the spark advance on both of the plugs and keep them even that would be sweet! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Flew in a rocket and was amazed in cruise it will be within 1gallon per hour of a 231/252 if flown at same speed. Had 183kts true on 12.8gph at 2200rpm and if I remember right 30" or so of MP at 15,000ft. Absolutely amazing. I think that was 30 LOP at around 1600ish EGT. Awesome plane.

Ah ya second that jetdriven is right on the money. I tried 20 degrees btdc it's exactly as he describes. 5 kts max speed close to 10kts Lop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Buy a plane that has what you want. If you dramatically exceed atmospheric pressure by somehow ducting ram pressure you will most likely catch on fire. The vent hole on the side of the injector nozzle that is designed to atomized fuel at idle by bleeding in atmospheric pressure and also reduces vacuum creates due to the close throttle plate, is going to spew fuel out of it at wide open throttle and you will catch the whole damn thing on fire. By a turbo plane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ya had same problem. Chased wiring and bayonet down ended up being the gauge. Tap on it when flying I bet you a crown and diet it wiggles. Probably gauge Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

200hp on a 360 CU motor isn't much power especially by the time it has a chance to get hot it's already reducing power due to DA. The difference between 2400-2700rpm is very little the engine does not care. Now I care about getting some altitude under my rear end as quickly as possible. Thanks good stuff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The higher noise level at 2700 is mostly prop noise. Some experimental and heli engines turn even more rpms. Not sure what you having going on. Hope it all works out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The difference mechanically from 2700 to 2500 isn't much, hard time considering that is the reason for a delta in oil consumption/loss. I cruise at 2700 up high lots and don't see any difference in burn. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wonder if the Rep realizes that people fly experimentals running Mogas at 25 btdc 8.6 compression 200hp -so the exact same motor to TBO LOP! Sure lot more factors but really he thinks this motor can actually detonate on 100ll. Sure you can get it hot and melt it down but 100ll is good stuff! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought the purpose of this was to be able to run Lop better? As far as your over temp chts. 3 things: 1. Trim down the #1 baffle by 1/2-3/4" 2. Bend the #4 baffle that lays across the top of the cylinder up a bit and stabilize it against the perpendicular oil cooler baffle with a screw or Jb weld. Rob just a little air from the cooler. 3. Set the manual cowl flap linkage adjustment the threaded rod adjustment down on the cowl flaps so the flaps stay 1/2" open in the close position. Also caul around any small gaps that would allow high pressure cooling air to bypass the cooling find. Near the starter etc. #4 ya I said 4 items I know....if you want to blow 4K buy the power flow exhaust and you will pick up a couple knots and lower CHT by 20-30f at any cruise configuration. With these mods I went from 400chts + to 330ish Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yep running great. 1qt In first 15 hours after oil change and another in about 10 hours. Strongly recommend as it's a father son shop and all Sam Jewell does is pretty much an assembly line of engines non stop. It will be a shame when he retires in a couple years. There price list is on their website. What I like the best is they don't push you to replace good working parts. His engine overhauls make the full next TBO time as long as their flown regularly.

Adjust your cowl flap linkage so that from the back edge of the cowl flap to the underside of the cowl there is 1/2". I could almost bet your cowl flaps are tightly closed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd like this for my boat and RV too on all the engines which combined equals 5. Run amsoil marine 15-40w with a tan of 12 and the main concern on that is exactly as you stated being the TAN measurement particularly in equipment that sits for long periods and then when used gets operated at a high % of load.

Is it the internal timing of the 2 mags or external main adjustment that adjust both? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
