Larry; it's always refreshing to read an engine success story. Most of them seem to read like mystery movies or horror stories when cases are cracked and the insides are exposed, especially when the engines are older and have passed through several sets of hands since being taken off of a

I found time today to remove the rods from the crank and do an amateur measurement of the crank with a digital micrometer. Crank is standard and right at "new spec's with zero abrasion or wear on any of the bearing locations. I'm guessing this crank could have gone another 2400 hours

I can't believe the progress I made this weekend in about 8 hours of time. The only help I had was to drive out the piston pins and lift the case off the mount. I hope to split the case in the next few days. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/32133949/IMG_8995.JPG Larry Flesner

Dear Mark, You have shown all of us what persistence is, as EAA says, The Can Do Spirit. I, like you, think Roy has a real winner with his 5th bearing, machining and engine building skills. I hope you will be flying consistently for many years to come with no more engine distractions. Larry H.

Ladies and Gents, Last evening was a beautiful time to go for a flight here in Wisconsin so I took to the air about 6 PM and climbed to 8,500' and played around on top of the clouds for an hour and a half. Being on top in a KR rates among the highest forms of entertainment in my play book.

Mark, Based on the dates below, looks like you missed deer hitting season ! well, there's always next year.   ; ) Seriously I am proud of you for your perseverance in getting back into the air. You are a real inspiration, heck I think you have had your share of misfortune, I believe it is now

For those of you following my progress since my forced landing upon leaving the 2006 KR Gathering, the following is how things have progressed. After getting the plane home on a trailer, I proceeded to rebuild my carburetor by doing a through cleaning and installing a new gasket and diaphragm.

I can think of a lot of problems this could cause, but given the fact that the other 5 cylinders had good compression, why would this cause complete power loss? Rough running absolutely, but total engine out? Bob

Ah, I see in mails I read after sending below, you have a blowing inlet valve. Depending on how open it sticks, it can have dramatic impact, as far more exhaust will get blown back into the intake tract - the burnt gas volume is several times the volume of the original charge ( hot gases expand

That's one sexy looking KR there Mark! I have a feeling that on a 6 cylinder distributor and coil powered unit the tach should be set to 6 pulses per revolution, the three pulses setting would be for a 6 cylinder coil pack setup where the plugs spark on the exhaust stroke as well a-la motorcycle
