KR> engine update

2017-01-17 Thread Larry Flesner via KRnet



I found time today to remove the rods from the crank and do an 
amateur measurement of the crank with a digital micrometer.  Crank is 
standard and right at "new spec's with zero abrasion or wear on any 
of the bearing locations.  I'm guessing this crank could have gone 
another 2400 hours without a problem, with proper maintenance and 
care of course.  Anyway, now I know.  I'll have it checked for "out 
of round", flange runout, and dye tested for cracks and if it  passes 
I can start the assembly process.

Larry: I see your problem immediately. Your hangar is too clean for you to get 
any serious work done. I do not see *any* tools on the floor, *no* old gasket 
scraps, dripped oil, pieces of snipped safety wire, errant washers, used and 
bent cotter pins, or any other evidence of actual progress on your engine 
removal and overhaul. I do not see any masking tape with handwritten labels on 
any wires or cables on the firewall, no yellow note-pad with items to remember 
to take care of in reverse order when re-assembling, so it's obvious that 
you'll never get everything put back in the proper place even if you get the 
engine overhauled in the first place. Which is questionable, since the short 
block is not sitting on an old blanket, some old sofa pillows, or a worn-out 
6.00x6 tire. These things are necessary for a proper engine rebuild, so you 
might want to get busy and get your hangar in order.


You need to take a serious look at getting your hangar disorganized so you can 
make measurable progress. And PS, a light coating of spilled Aeroshell 50 with 
about 20 hours on it will help cut the glare from the overhead lights off that 
clean floor. Just sayin'.

My daughter in law's father how is a A inspector at Delta took me on a 
personal tour of the maintenance complex in Atlanta. It was amazing at there 
engine overhaul stations. They had shadow boards for every part of an engine in 
the order it was removed with part numbers for quick reference.  It was very 
organized.

You've got a point, Oscar.  I'm not concerned about the wires and 
hoses, they're pretty obvious, but  there were several items I made 
"mental" notes about reverse order on install and which bolts had 
tabs attached for securing cables, etc. and the "mental" notes are a 
bit hard to read this morning.  Maybe another cup of coffee and a 
sweet roll will remove some of the blurriness...

As for the hangar, I'm lucky to be in the FBO heated and well lit 
hangar and the cleanliness is just a matter of picking up after 
myself.  After 49 years of marriage some training is hard to ignore. :-)
