Just FYI, Roy suggested that I switch from Rotella to Brad Penn. However, I
don't think it had any effect on the OP, as I have never had a problem with
that. But, I will continue using Brad Penn.

It's been a few weeks since I got my KR back into the air and got started on
Engine break-in and evaluating the changes in the perfromance of the plane. ?I
have roughly 10 hours on the new top end now, so temps and performance are
finally starting to settle in.
In February, as part of the annua
Posting this for Pete,
This might be a good prop for you O-200 guys. Its a Sensenich 56x54 if his
memory serves him. He flew it for 30 minutes and took it off as it was too much
prop for his right hand turning Corvair. He is looking for somewhere around
$500 for it. Please send me an email off

I run Castrol 20w-50 in mine in the summer time, Rotella 15-40 in the
winter. If the bearing has an AN6 line going
Mark,
Thanks for the input. The plane already has a high volume pump on it. Pete said
that since he put the 5th bearing on it the pressure has been lower.
Can I run 20w-50 oil in it? That would be the simplest solution. Its got
Rotella 15w-40 in it now, but why not use a high zinc 20w-50 such
Ghosting is a very useful technique Sam Hoskins of Q-200 fame showed me.
I am working out some final FWF details on my plane and worked up a multi angle
video to visualize what space I have left under the cowl. While the pictures
are not of a KR, its a great tool for anyone working on an airpla
I have seen this pin on the distributor gear shear once in aircraft
application. It was on an E-racer that had an aluminum oldsmobile or buick in
it
for power. Shortly after take off it quit in Dubuque, IA and the landing
was bad enough to destroy the airplane, but the pilot was ok. This

As you already know, adjusting that oil pressure relief spring only changes
the upper limit of where the oil system dumps
I tried to send this to the Corvair list but I must have failed to
make the transition to the new list. I will have to sort that out
tomorrow. Until then, I am sending the body of my email to this list.
Its KR related but Corviar specific.
I have gotten a few more flights in on the Corvair powered
