Now that the Stang is at the airport I swept out the garage today and rolled the KR back in. I can't wait to start getting to work on the new wing and the Grove gear conversion.
I need to get the Revmaster started and get it all lubed up again. Is there anything special I need to do to the turbo since the engine has not run in months? I was going to change the oil in the engine and see if I can get my fingers in the turbo to make sure it spins O.K., but I don't know if there is anything else special I should do. I am also assuming that there is no way I can accidently overboost this engine. There is no waste gate or any other way to control the turbo so I am asuming that it is not capable of overboosting? Can anyone tell me what manifold pressure is normal on this engine? I have never had a turbo before. Got another flight on the Stang yesterday and put on .8 hours and three good landings. Three hundred bucks today to replace the bad starter on the O-200 and I hope I can do more flying than working on the plane now. Brian Kraut Engineering Alternatives, Inc. www.engalt.com
