Guys As You will see I am just learning about this AN bolt sizing system. The early O-300 engines with 8 bolt crank have smaller diameter bolts than the later 6 bolt crank. I am looking for info for the 6 bolt crank. The AN 8 i think is a 1/2 inch diameter and the dash 44 is 4 1/2 in length. This I ...

Joe that will eb great. I willlook forward to their arrival. I will cover all you costs ThanksG

I mentioned this question under the spinner topic but mabe I will get more bites if I start a new thread I have the 6 bolt crank O-300-d engine. Prop bolts are I believe AN8-44. Today I called Spruce and they told me they are less than $2.00 each. This is either too good to be true or these aren't t...

Guys thanks Your info is reassuring, I think I will do the boiling water test on the stove at home cheers g

I cranked up my engine for the first time and anxiously watched all the gauges. Pressure EGT and CHT all came up fine. I didn't run the engine long perhaps 2 minutes mabe a little longer but got no movement on the oil temp gauge. It is one of the infamous SCOTT gauges. I must admit the actual oil pa...

Where do you guys direct the blast tubes that are mounted on the back of the large rear engine baffle. In the IPC the left one seems to be pointed at the oil screen area on the bottom of the accessory pad. On the right as I have the transverse mounted started ( WHICH ACTUALLY STARTED THE ENGINE FOR ...

Joe Sorry for delay getting back to you, it sounds like you do have the goodies. the dementions for the bulkheads seem to measure correctly with my spinner. If you are ok sending them up pending a fit check that would be great, otherwise am happy to send you the $$ or a deposit which ever you prefer...

Joe thanks The bulkheads are for the 6 bolt type correct?? I would be interested in buying then from you. I have just gotten hold of fiberglass type spinner looks stock I am going to measure the diameter hopefully it would work with your bulkheads I will get bac to you shortly G

Thanks you guys sorry didn't get back sooner, all the snow here in alberta you know. I will look forward to hearing if you guys have any more info or locate old bulkheads Gotta go shovel the driveway G

George would you be able to help me locate or manufacture the bulkheads for the 6 bolt crank? It is something i know I could not do my self.Do you think Spruce has the right size undrilled ones that could be drilled? G

can you use copper pipe to make up the primer line??G

STC for install of o-300-d engine 6 bolt crank actually shows vert pointy 150 type spinner. I have talked to cessna and for their spinner and bulkheads we are looking at about $1500 US which translates into about a million canadian dollars. I guess i will have to take the plunge, Thanks g

The issue is I have the D engine with the 6 bolt crank. I have a nice bullet spinner but when I located the front and rear bulkheads from an old style 172 they were just a little small for the spinner. Since spruce wants big bucks for these bulkheads and spinners and I could live with the skull cap ...

Is the spinner an absolute requirement on the airplanes. Have any of you run your planes with out a spinner?? G

You guys gotta take this show on the road, it is a shame the rest of the world won't likely be exposed to you humour. I appreciate all the informative comments. Shouldn't we all be a church today instead of doing this ????G
