  1. Wouldn't the filter have caught it all. The rockers would get clean oil. Then after them its full of shit then it goes no where and back thru th filter. Why would the plastic bushes fail????. Is what I would be asking. Then why would anyone not put the correct part back in. That makes no sense at all. I'm guessing the plastic bushes would be cheap as and in stock. My motor is apart and at 1740 hrs the bushes are perfect. If you are doing a full rebuild you would want to your sums before you commit to it. In 2 mins the oil pump is off. If that is fine then I would say everything else is fine as well. Lyndon
  2. Also don't don't touch the barrels until your happy with what your going to do. There are many schools of thought 're them. Personally a clean rag and carby clean then a rag and oil. Lyndon
  3. Why would the lifters need replacement ??? Lyndon
  4. I'm 55. Been flying since 26. I have never needed a light. What you are saying is use it like DRL s on a modern car. The Volvo theory. ??? Lyndon
  5. I'm thinking ahead. About to zip up the right wing. I believe it has no add ons. Looking ahead the left wing has the pitot tube and light. To all you builders do I need the light. why would I ever need it. Lyndon
  6. Thanks Lyndon
  7. Is this correct. Manual is not overly clear and pics on builds I can't really see. Lyndon
  8. Thanks will do Lyndon
  9. Will have a look. By memory someone is using orings Lyndon
  10. Getting somewhere on the first wing. The second will take about 10 mins. I'm sure there are parts that arnt even mentioned in the manual. Then in the parts list are incorrect. But it all makes sense as I build it. Question. In the real world when I use a sealer on the fuel outlets after drilling the plastic tanks. Does any one have a preferred sealer when they look back with experience. I'm expecting to seal these tanks up for many years with zero issues. Thanks Lyndon
  11. Before I close up the wings. I see some people have lights or strobes. I don't need these to legally fly the plane. Lyndon
  12. Yes I believe so
  13. Makes sense. Thanks will give it a shot on the weekend. Lyndon
  14. Excellent. Now the three skins on each wing. Can I rivet the the top. The bottom. Then the front. Or do need to divide all the clecos up for all three. It should rivet up perfectly one at a time but in practice I'm sure this won't work. Thoughts ??? Lyndon
  15. I'm.jumping the gun here. But what stops it flapping around. Also obviously I just rivet up the blank holes Lyndon
  16. Thank you. When I get to the bottom skin is the same applied. Thanks Lyndon
  17. I take it these two angulars are not not fitted with the long range tanks ??? Lyndon
  18. All done. Now to do the top filler holes
  19. Well will have to drill the hole out as one will be inverted with the lip inwards. Won't be an issue. Ta
  20. Thoughts. I see some people rivnut these panels on. Seems like a lot of riv nuts. Lyndon
  21. About to cut. Now before I do. What are these holes used for. I have three the same out of the four. I'm thinking it should be two and two. If they are just a vent I'm sure it doesn't matter. Lyndon
  22. Great just priming all the skins and hopefully on the weekend get cutting and riveting. Lyndon
  23. The 10 mm hole that has to be moved is the existing one I take it. Lyndon
  24. Thanks will do that
  25. Thanks for. I feel a lot better about cutting it now. It's something you don't want to get wrong. Lyndon
