    Continental 0470 R - Cylinder Replacement Inevitable?

    LyConasaurs easily make TBO on the bottom. Crank, bearings, etc. The top end usually will need valve work and/or piston rings before TBO.. Regarding the O-470 your buddy's negative opinion of the durability of that engine is the first I've heard in 45yrs

    What's For Dinner?

    My wife is from NC and makes the best hush puppies. She just mixes ingredients from memory and drops them into the electric deep fryer. I asked once if the oil was unhealthy... never asked again

    What's For Dinner?

    Baked ziti with Beef or sausage bits mixed in with the tomato sauce, and lots of mozzarella on top. Bake untill the cheese is thoroughly melted but not brown. Remember not to boil the ziti too much because it continues absorbing moisture while baking.

    Digital Aircraft Log Books

    I've seen too many owners with years missing from their maintenance logs. I tell people with complete log history to simply take pics with their phones. Yes it's time consuming but more productive than staring at the idiot box. Just turn pages, you capture 2 pages per photo with every turn of...

    The "Back in my day" Thread

    I had one, rigged it so I could shoot stuff out of it. Had to use Daddy's tools to bust out the inside casting. Shot a friend in his butt and naturally the cannon was taken away from me

    Gap adjust on tempest BY plugs

    Thanks for the reply but I have that tool, it doesn't widen plug gap, only closes the gap. I need to open the gaps to .025 - .035 for electronic ignition

    Gap adjust on tempest BY plugs

    Thanks, I installed new plugs as recommended by SureFly and didn't open the gaps. Normally gaps widen with age as you stated. I might just leave mine in place but a friend wants me to install a SureFly mag and enlarge his plug gaps.

    Gap adjust on tempest BY plugs

    Tapping the combined brain cells on the forum.. Electronic mags require enlarged plug gaps. I have a tool for enlarging gaps on standard (massive) plugs but the tempest extended nose BY plugs don't facilitate the tool. I could lock needle-nose vise grips on the ground electrode but it leaves...

    Approaching the end of the road

    Boy you sparked my Energizer.. I was fixing planes (AP/IA) out of my truck. Charging a very reasonable hourly rate. Paying the city their percentage (tax) and all seemed hunky-dory until the airport manager forced me out... Guess who begs for my services now that his A&P partner passed away?
