AND......JUNE 7TH IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR A FLYIN

I was in Anchorage for.....Well 24 hours.....not enough time. You guys have it made.....I went out to lake hood and Merriill field....WOW I have never seen so many Taildraggers.......I counted about 16 170s out at Merrill. I wish I could have stayed longer......I hope to get back out there........My...

Thanks Dell, That is about the best idea yet..........Mine was knocking before the rebuild...... I may have to give that a try........Nice to here from you again....... OH by the way.......Everyone that has seen my engine says it is the best engine installation they have seen....... Thanks for the G...

I wish it was that easy.........Mine knocks with the cowl on or off.......I was talking to a well trusted engine builder here in Tennessee and he listened to the engine and said he didnt here anything unusual......He has been working on engines for a long long time........I think he did an overhaul ...

Maybe we just have special engines that like to talk :lol: Sorry.....Im trying to keep a smile.......Nothing worked for me either......One lifter tappet (that was failing 50% of the time) Replaced...No change.....Longer push rods....NO change.....The plane runs great, everything is in the normal, an...

I ordered my longer push rods for that cyl. They should be in any day now......I sure hope that makes a diff. Im not sure it will in my case since the play was within limits......I am going to go fly tomorrow and see if thing quiet down on this next flight, but I would imagine the tapets would be pu...

We just pulled the Cyl. back just enough to get to the tappets.....I am hopeing that the oil is just from some oil that spilled when we were doing all of the work. I am going to wipe all of the oil up and fly it tomorrow and see if I have any more oil around.

:x :x :x :x :x :x Well...........I went up flying for about 1 hour......you are right......I talked to mena engine, they said the same thing......I really need to fly it for about 45min to 1 hour.......The knocking sound may have gotten quieter but its hard to tell.....all I know is.....its still kn...

about how long........I was out of town...but my dad went out there for me...they ran the engine up twice once at idle and the next time from idle to 1500 rpm.....a total run of about 5 minutes each........I was wondering if I just need to take it up flying for about 30 min to 1 hour and see what ha...

No. We pulled the Cyl. back just enough to get to the lifters. We then used a small piece of safety wire to grab the lifter an pull it out.

:twisted: :twisted: :twisted: Chris, I did get the new Hyd lifter installed........not much change.......the soud is very slightly quiter :evil: He went and collapsed both lifters on the #5 and checked the slop......it was about 90 I guess the limit is 30-110 it is within limits but I went ahead and...

ok ok......... Your right impulse coupler.. Someone else called it that and it stuck in my head......

I had a mech come out an listen to the noise. We pulled the cowl off and started up the plane. The Mech. used a stethascope lookin thing and listend to all of the cyl. He noticed that the #5 was making alot of knocking noise. We pulled off the valve cover and noticed the rocker arm on the intake val...
