 |
|
Val, down here in Florida this started as a thourough annual on this CJ here in Del Ray beach and quickly turned in to a front to rear overhaul - I pulled the water-sep from the firewall to get an early idea and it was growing a biology experiment (well, the organisms had long past died sometime in the mid-triassic...) one air gage plugged and non working due to crud, others reading like split packs on the 757 at cruise  (the gage and curved lines to the valves acted like a dead end sump in the system, and was a nice pilot indicator this system was internally mucked beyond fubar, we blew out some crystalyzed gunk from these lines, few anywhere else and replaced the tanks)...but a key issue I found was a fully rusted out and inop emergency check valve..with the others in need of cleaning and attention...
If your air system was infiltrated bad, you may want to inspect these firewall check valves (batch 23 I think has them all firewall mounted), pricey new ($60), but the springs and seats in ours were down for the count, that alone is not an expensive replacement at all.
Now on to the leaky prop...anyone got a line on outter domes for the chinese 2 blade? This one appears shot as is (scored), we have all the seals from Doug and it's all that should be keeping her from Waycross...I assume Doug and/or Bill has the domes...in fact, anyone around the east have a youthful 2-blade or components they want to unload?

Andre,
I just had the first annual inspection done on my CJ6 with the Russian
M14P....
engine. I had Dennis Savarese come out to Salt Lake City and train me
while I assisted in the annual. He is very thorough, to say nothing of
knowledgeable and it was some of the best money I have ever spent. We
had a
great time although we did work our proverbial butts off in a cold
hanger.
On my last flight before the annual, I couldn't get the gear up. There
was
a pneumatic leak hissing on the firewall, which I found in a worn
connection
on the T-fitting (Doug Sapp sent me what I needed to replace it). That
also
led to my taking the stainless steel water separator apart to replace
the
filters. I had just recently purchased the aircraft from an impeccably
thorough owner and it's upkeep was immaculate. That was why I was so
surprised to find about a teaspoon of rust on one side and a teaspoon
of
mineral deposits on the other. Of course I cleaned it all out and
replaced
the filters as well as running pipe cleaners through the tubing to try
to
determine if they had rust in them. They didn't... but it had to come
from
somewhere.
We found the culprit when Dennis (Da' Godfadder) and I checked the main
air
tank. It was filled with rust, a potentially really bad thing. Needless
to
say, Doug got more business when I ordered a new one. Dennis said that
it
appeared that this condition occurred with the owner previous to the
one I
purchased my airplane from, which made sense.
Well, Dennis is back home in his warn little nest in Alabama and I'm
just
waiting for warmer weather to go take my extra large baggage
compartment and
super-dooper smoke system out so that I can get to the air tank and
replace
it. Again, for relatively little cost and immense rewards in getting to
know your engine, I would highly recommend having Dennis Savarese come
out
and give you the course he teaches.
Best of luck, Happy Holidays, and fly safe'

Drew,
Got pictures of your new stead? Sorry, can't help you with the new dome. We have a complete YAK prop at the hanger but unfortunately that will now help you.
My 52 is down with the enging off the nose waiting to hang the new one. It may not make Waycross either.
Good luck and Merry Xmas.
Doc

Drew,
I have the prop dome and piston in stock, new or used. Also used hubs, new hubs, and most any prop part you might need to breath life back into your old hub. Contact me off line if you still need the parts.
Also, any truth to the rumor that you are good old honest Andrew's new best pal for CJ's on the east coast now ??
Always Yakin,
Doug Sapp
