Just in case you havent pulled your pistion on your initial tear down and clean up. I found grit in the rings. not much but enough that if lef could do major damage. Im figuring it came from the precombustion chamber. I found grit in the water jacket of the head and likly the pcc. I pulled the rings off and washed and wiped it down. I put my 70 thou shims back in the base of the barrel and cranked the head down, my solder said exactly 50 thou.

Man these are easy engines to work on. There is only one place too small to put your hand. That is the little bump on a PS where the sand is. Im an old bacholor so my hand is my wife and she wasent willing after cramping up to remain in that tight spot. I heated a cheap scraper and bent it at more then 90 about 2 " from the scrapen end, this alowed me to do the roof of the bump as well as the end and sides. Quit a bit of gunk came out, flushed as good as I could till I ran out of diesel. Return and do more  tomorow

Sand  you say, glad I havent run my roid more then 5 minuts a coupel of times.I ll have to drain oil and check further.I built a lifter remover that looks like it was made in a third world country. Funny what you can do when you dont have a 1 5/ 16 drill bit . This contraption is made from a piece of pipe 1 1/2 id I welded nuts on the side , in two places , to act as my puller. Then I drilled and taped three holes 1/4, these grab the lifter body supprising how little force it took to pull. The sad thing is when I was unscrewing the cap on the exaust comp relief thingy the bolt broke or was broken and attached with 1 thred now I have to fix

Yes a detailed answer sounds pricey. I suppose tis a problem all us roid users have to endure even with a 4 pol head. My power is intende for use in my shop, with power to the house to charge batteries maybe a deepfrees or a pump directly off genny power for any thing sensitive I can invert

Im wondering about pully size Im getting one machiened tomorrow. I have a 4k 3600 rpm winco The math works out to aproximatly exactly a ratio of 5.55-1 or a driven size of 4.25'' Giving me 3594 rpm at 650 on the prime mover. 10 rpm on the prime mover causes a in or decrease of 45 on the driven. This seams like a real sensitive ballance. With an engine screaming at 3600 a drop of 10 is nothing a drop of 45 still nothing. I guess what Im getting at is I have nothing to relate it to. That was pruven  today when I put a physical tack on the shaft and found it was running at 780 rpm I slowed it to 654 and it really smoothed out. I live at about 3000 feet bove sea level
So all ready a disadvantage.

Other Fuels / Jet B
« on: January 07, 2006, 02:03:57 AM »
For a number of years I have been hording contaminated jet b helicopter fuel. I heat my house with it. I have to mix it 50/50 with diesel or jet a . I use the old style space heater with a carburator. Enough on that my question is dose any one have experiance with burning jet a or b in their roid . Im sure oil added for lubricity is a must but at what ratio

Im a carpenter not a mechanik But couldent you pull the head off and the barrel pull the rist pin and now read the  weight of  the piston, and subistitute weights taped or held to the con rod. in place of the piston. Pull any thing elets which could cause drag and spin it over by hand.[ of corse youll have to suspend the con rod  some how and not let it flail around the crank opening]  Isnt the heavy side going to gravitate to the  bottom. Do this a coupel of times and you could have the general area of the heavy side , now you can start to tape weights to the fly wheel May be?  Ill have to purchase my first roid before I can speak with experiance.
