Firewall Sealant
… there was a recommendation of sealing the firewall with Proseal [PRS 1422 B1/2 ] and then riveting in . … I’d be reluctant to use PRS 1422 as a firewall sealant as it is designed to be used as a fuel tank sealant. According to Kitplanes Magazine … fuel tank sealant is not suitable for sealing fir...

Re: Memorial Day - the Most Expensive Holiday
Budd Davisson wrote an interesting article on the Waco CG-4A glider 30 years ago. Regarding the pilot’s incentive to make a smooth landing to prevent getting crushed by a howitzer he writes, The airplane has some beautifully Goldbergian (as in Rube) operational features. For instance, the complete n...

Re: Tailwheel tie down ring - winch point
I’ve calculated that, at gross weight, to go from the forward C.G. limit to the rear C.G. limit would amount to a change of 54 lbs. at the tailwheel. I wonder how much 54 lbs. would change the kingpin angle? I doubt it would be more than a degree. Do any of you notice the tailwheel more likely to sh...

Re: Tailwheel tie down ring - winch point
Rob, I think it would be much more likely that the tailwheel mainspring was tweaked if one was pulling from the tailwheel axle than from the tie down ring. Bruce has posted Scott’s tailwheel shimmy checklist here . I’d never noticed that they say, on item seven, that the center spindle should be “pe...

Re: Care's FAA Question
John,
I’m also unable to access these aircraft records. I don’t think the issue has anything to do with our computer equipment. I’ll try contacting FAA OKC.

Re: different engines in 170's
Ghostflyer mentioned that the engine came from an L-19. The L-19 came with two versions of the O-470. The O-470-11 or -11B used a fix pitch prop. The O-470-15 used the constant speed prop. 391 lbs. and 408 lbs. dry weight respectively according to the TCDS. Researching the FAA database for the C-170...

Snap Ring Orientation
Apologies in advance for the thread drift. My previous entry about snap ring orientation should not be used when installing the crankshaft counterweight pins. The overhaul manual specifies that the snap ring be installed “with the flat or rough side to the outside.” Similar instructions are shown on...

Piston Rings for Chrome Cylinders
Continental shows the ring set for the chrome barrel to be p/n 653394. They are available from an online auction site where it has the following picture displaying the individual rings: s-l1600.jpg What doesn't make sense is that these rings in the O-300 IPC are not the ones listed for chrome cylind...

1/4” Hole in Crankshaft Flange
This is a continuation from the off-topic discussion on page two of this thread regarding dampened crankshafts. The connection to LED lights is that these lights use less current and thus provide an alternative to installing 35 amp. generators which require dampened crankshafts, i.e. crankshafts wit...

Only 12 years late in answering this but, according to SIL05-3A, the “F” is a shipping designation. B=Wood crate, F=Factory packaging.

It looks like that Service Bulletin has been incorporated into Chapter 9-1 of the Standard Practice Maintenance Manual.

Re: Oil Leak
I was going to say make sure and install the snap ring correctly as it’s easy to install them backwards. I’m embarrassed to say that I was about to give the wrong advice. Here’s the right way according to this website:
