Brief Description: Pistons re-installed and oil tube routed in
FINALLY, all the parts have come in to complete the top end overhaul on this stepchild. The first Piston took the longest to install as I was figuring it all out, then the next 2 went in pretty easily. Boy am I glad to see this coming back together again. Hoping to breath fire no later than monday.
In other news, I took the plunge and drilled a long 5/8" hole through my right wing and bonded in a SS tube that will serve as the engine crankcase breather exit. The tube just barely clears the aileron torque tube but will stay put without contact. I'm tired of cleaning oil mist off my prop and cowling and this will work just as well as my pee tube exit. PERFECTLY :) The exit it 6" outside the prop arc and with a little finess, the exit will create suction on the crankcase in flight, and be very sleek looking.
