A video showing all the things you're explaining about these overhaul processes would be welcome by all I'm sure .
Absolutely. I wanted a blow by blow demo of all the steps.
I did cylinder overhaul/repair at Mattituck Aviation for 5 years. This brings back memories.
How did you like doing that kind of work?
Steel cylinders, or alloy with Steel liners , or alloy with Nikasil or Equilivent coatings.
Very good and informative Video, only thing to improve is the sound, but keep your great work ;)
Your refurbished cylinder is so beautiful it makes me want to cry 😢😭
I’m looking for a cylinder that has a big block good job bro keep it up josh Zachariah
Good afternoon, how are you? can you give me tips on tools for removing the studs and also tool for grinding rocker pin bushings?
What ring materials and thickness to modern aircraft engines use?
Excellent presentation
Thank you!!
What type of material are the intake & exhaust valves made of? Do the turbocharged engines require different valve materials?
Can you explain how you check valve clearance on a 0320 straight valve?
Does any company make aluminium cylinders with press in liners and press in valve guides? If so how much weight do they save plus better cooling.
2 question ,were can I get the exhaust flange cutting tool , and were can I purchase cyl stud installation tool
Now, I am confused on hone angles.
Moly rings VS. Iron...
Is there anything to that?
Thanks,
Mark
surprised no one asked what the average cost difference is between repaired and overhauled if the cylinders are sent to you.
Excellent presentation, Could you repair the cylinder(05K21104) we have?
How can you measure cyl HD location were the valve will be installed valve guide seat
Talk is good - pictures are better !
What’s going on with the restoration on that Cessna?, hope you guys still have move videos 👍
What do you think about Lycon jugs?
What is the name of the rod cover spring compressor? Where can I get one?
Hi she's flying a 1985 piper pa28 161. Why not flay a new piper pa 28?
Thank for this explanation ,my question is for the exhaust valve for o 360 exhaust valve 1/2 stem where I can find a Chuck to hold the 1/2 valve
Thanks for watching!
What do you mean by this? A chuck for what purpose?
A Chuck for 1/2 valve or exhaust valve my valve cutting Machine Up to take 3/8 Valve stem
Thanks for your video.
It would be appreciated if you would answer the posters questions below.
Here are questions from me which I hope you will answer.
If a steel barrel is good and the aluminum head is cracked, do you demate the cyl barrel and mate it to a new or good head-?
If you do not demate cylinders and heads, why do you not do this-?
Before removing exhaust guides do you heat the aluminum head to a specified temperature to remove the guide and press in a new guide at this spec. temp-?
Great video, please use mic. Great process.
Is Laser Cleaning approved by either OEM?
Thanks alaks
I go your work shop take me
One more question , Chrome Cylinder after you honor the cylinder to remove the glasse and make it wall patten do you continue or reinstall New chrome piston Ring thanks
Good questions! We always want to install NEW rings after honing the bore and breaking the glaze on the cylinder wall.
To the previous question ,,do you continuous as a chrome cylinder ,, then to use Piston Ring for a Chrome cylinder,,which you know it can No be chrome ring
Do you guys buy as removed engines? Lycoming io240, low time out of a liberty.
Occasionally, but sorry not interested in that specific engine. List it for sale all over the web, it’s a good time to sell 👍🏻
Have you ever seen a cylinder installed without an O-ring on the base?
I have read that in the past, a solution was used to wash aircraft parts in, before overhaul or renovation. This solution would remove paint, soot and grease from aluminum without damaging the underlying metal. What was the name of this solution? Is it (or similar) available nowadays?
MEK ~ Methyl Ether Keytone (AKA Aircraft Stripper). Maybe?
How do you bore with a choke? What machine and tools are used?
Check out my comment on the cylinder honing video I explained how honing vs boring a choked cylinder
I worked at an automotive machine shop and we did 3 angle valve jobs. Is that ever done with aviation cylinders?
7 angle
Es posible explicarlo en Español gracias
I worked for Flight School down in the lower 40 I was wondering where are the go no go is on whether or not a cylinder is repairable I have about 20 cylinders and none of them were mothballs so some of them have gotten rust in them some don’t look that great some don’t look that bad. What can I do to save myself from sending cylinders that are not fixable.
I know I am late to the party but…if you over bore a cylinder and put in higher compression piston, can we give my 200HP Arrow more power? (Lycoming)
Not legal
Get an experimental?
Bore/Stroke wont add much power, maybe ~ 3%
Higher compression pistons gives 3 ~ 5%
Great video, bad sound
Why are aircraft cylinders the only cylinders on earth built with a choke? The heat and expansion theory doesn’t seem to fit on the Harley or VW
I think you ment the valve seat angle is 30 degrees and 45 degrees respectivly ?
I used to nickle plate aircraft cylinders in Tulsa
