KR> Engine oil overheating

2013-05-09 Thread Mac McConnell-Wood 
Sid,
 I had the same problem -I had no SCAT duct either.
I put it down to using aviation oil in the Revmaster. I also added an
adjustable cowling exit duct and enlarged the inlet ducts.
Don't know which of these worked, but my test pilot complained because the
oil temps were too LOW .just can't win!
Regards,  Mac

KR> O-200-8 for sale

2013-05-09 Thread Jeff Scott 
One important thing to keep in mind when buying an O-200 is how many times the 
crank has been ground. ?There is a limit of two grinds at .010" each. ?I had an 
engine that already had the crank ground twice and had a worn crank that was 
giving low oil pressure due to the excessive bearing clearance. ?If it had 
another grind left it would have been something like $500 for a magnaflux, 
grind, and new bearings, but since it had been ground twice it required a new 
crank for over $2,000. ?(going on my best memory of prices several years ago, 
might be off, but you get the idea) ?Used cranks that are serviceable are hard 
to come by and expensive on the O-200 since new cranks are not available for 
the C-85 and lots of the remaining O-200 cranks are used up in C-85 to O-200 
conversions.

That also brings up another very good option of using a C-85 with the O-200 
crank. ?That makes and engine with the power of the O-200, but the weight of 
the C-85.
---

The costs have gone up a bit. ?Last time I checked a new O-200 crank was up to 
$3300. Regrinding, nitriding, cad plating the flange, and new bearings runs 
somewhere around $700 - $750. The -.020 bearing set is kind of pricey as well 
if you're down to the last grind. ?

One thing to remember about using the C-85 as the core to build an O-200 is 
that you would also want to change the camshaft to make the same HP as an 
O-200. ?The C-85 cam has a shorter duration and is designed for a lower RPM 
than the O-200 cam. ?I flew my KR behind a stock C-85 for it's first 350 hours. 
?It's a good engine. ?With the O-200 crank and pistons, it does produce more 
torque and is a desirable upgrade to the C-85, but unless you change the cam, 
it's not quite the same thing.

Craig's O-200 is a great candidate for a Cub, Champ, or T-craft project as the 
-8 non-electric version of the engine is highly desirable for those planes. 
?However, it is not a desirable engine for the KRs due to the lack of 
electrics. ?The Lycoming ring gear and starter are a work around that could be 
implemented, but the engine really isn't configured to mount the starter up 
front and the prop bushings should be swapped out for a longer set of bushings 
to support the ring gear if they are available. ?Hand propping a KR can be 
done, but is less than ideal due to the short stature of the KR, which leaves 
you bending over into the prop when it starts. ?I have propped mine a number of 
times when the battery was down. ?Even though I have owned a number of hand 
propped planes and have twisted props on just about every GA engine out there, 
I am really uncomfortable propping the KR due to the reason cited above.

Yea, I am up for the run.  Not going to trash talk ya, cause I know you are 
faster, just don't know how much faster.  I really want to compare mine to the 
Deer Killer cause we have the same engine.

This year's gathering is starting to look a bit more interesting. :o)  Anyone 
else up for a timed fun run?  Maybe we can get Jeff Lange to come join us and 
set up a timed course again.

Sid,

Is the tube necessary?  I know it is a good idea to duct it out, but I don't
have one and not seen one that does.  I know the RVs around here don't have
one either and they use a either a Niagara or one just like it.

This SCAT tube runs a straight line nearly from the top of the firewall to
the bottom to dump the hot air out the bottom of the cowl.

My web site is now up under my own domain name. ?. ?For 
those of you that maintain your own web sites, please update the link. ?Since I 
now own the domain name, it shouldn't change even if I have to move the web 
site again. ?
