Is it possible / allowed to regrind and re-harden a camshaft. If so can anyone recommend a company that could assist me.

Regards

Mark

I have acquired an 0-200 in need of a rebuild. It is short of 4 exhaust valves plus noticed that the camshaft has some pitting so need to either replace or regrind/harden if that is possible.

Continental 0-200 or C90 engine wanted for my Issacs Fury project.

The aircraft is based 6 miles west of Tatenhill (EGBM) in Staffordshire on a farm strip.

Hi Rod,

The attachment bolt in Non Ferrous as supplied with the Compass (SIRS Navigator)

Thanks for the reply

I am having trouble swinging the compass in our RV9. The compass works fine out of the aircraft but moves significantly when fitted. So much so that I cannot bring it back to a sensible error margin when following the manufacturers procedure to adjust. It is mounted on the vertical tube supporting t...

Roger, My Colibri has a primer fitted that deposits fuel into inlet manifold. Ask the LAA to look at G-HRLM. It's been there as long time so could have been part of the original build. I still have to wind the prop to ensure the carb is full, else it just runs on the prime and then stops. The primer...

Steve,

Thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for.
There is an entry for an O-320-D2G (without the Y prefix) which has an AD reference 2009-26-12 dated after mine was made. I assume this applies.

Is there a simple way to look at all the AD's applicable to a Lycoming O-320 Model No (YO-320-D2G). The engine was new in 2009 and first flew in 2010 (Vans RV9), the engine has 60hrs total time as of today. I have the Engine Certifcate stating that all AD's and SB's have been complied at the time of...

I have a Colibri with a Leburg system fitted. If you compressions are down, then this will cause issues when starting from hot, but be fine when cold, so it might be worth checking. If all is OK with the above. Wind the prop backwards about 12 times, obviously with the ignition in th off position, a...

Thanks for your advice.
I have ordered a tow bar from the U.S that is advertised as suitable for moving the VANS 'A' models.

Bill, Thanks for your reply, Yes that's what I thought I would need to do, just wanted to canvass others owners opinions of their experience first. If you have some pics of a good example, I would appreciate seeing them. I made a similar device for pulling our Emeraude in and out and that worked wel...

I have just bought an RV9a and need some advice on the best way to push the aircraft backwards without damaging the nosewheel. I'm assuming the nose wheel does not reverse in direction i.e castor backwards in a similar way to a Scott tailwheel break out mechanism. I have read somewhere about setting...

I have a VW 1834 engine fitted in a Colibri which runs well but has had an oil cooler fitted underneath the fuselage which a) spoils the lines of the aircraft and b) must knock a few knots off the cruise. Originally the aircraft flew for several years without one fitted so I assume the oil temps wer...
