When installing open main bearings with phenolic or plastic retainers, which way should the balls face? Should they be installed with the balls facing the counterweight or should the balls be facing the intake passage when on the crankshaft?

:lol:

Does anyone have a half-inch length of this around before I have to go buy from mcmaster-carr and dent my wallet and be left with 99 screws or three feet left of threaded rod that will never be used? Ace has the size but not in brass. I believe the brass screws I have been able to find are...

Here's a rare one... It would be nice to see what the original carbs were and the exhaust looked like.

For those that cut their own header gaskets, what is your favorite material, thickness, source and methods for cutting...

I though some might enjoy checking this out. Sorry I cannot post the slide pictures.

I have a prop where the bore is way off on it in relationship to the blades and I would like to try and save it. Any methods around? It's an 1/8" bore.

I have a couple venturi stems that don't have the nuts. Does Mecoa stock these seperate? What size is the thread? Any good replacements around town for them?

This will have an 1/8" bore with an 1 1/4" diameter. Maybe the electric guys would have them around.

Looking to buy a couple of .187 collet assemblies, new if possible. Not sure if they ever made .250 collets but would like a couple of those too. Need them in 1/4-28 size threads. Hyperformance doesn't carry them I see, and Sheldon's on eBay only has the .150 sizes. Thanks, Dave

What can be done about the sleeve/crankcase fit to help seal around the exhaust?

I thought this was kinda neat and like to share it. I'm wondering how well it works and how they came up with the tuning of it. I would like to see the pipe it fits. Does anyone have any cut-away views of different kinds of quiet pipes?

If you have good luck with your NovaRossi carb locks, I would like to try them in my engines but they are not NR's. If anyone looking in can contribute the size they have as far as diameter and what size carb hole its machined for I can check my motors to see if they would work. They look...

Would anyone like to share plans or pics of their pitch gage? I would like to build one. Thanks!

I have a stack of Dumas kits I'll be building and going to try and roll out my own plywood for them. The material I bought is sliced 1/42" thick Sepele veneer (measures about .023" average). At first I had thought about simply using cold veneer glue and sheeting only one or both sides of our...

Currently needing the proper TN carb body and barrel or complete carb for the Speed 40. PM me with what you have.

Here's something I'm able to hand out to everyone this year for a present. Merry Christmas! Design Your Own Boat - Free download (I had some cards left over from last year. )

Anyone have any experiences using these types of bearings? If you were to use them, would you use them as either a front or rear bearing?

Anyone using or have used DAP Weldwood Plastic Resin Glue on their build ups?

I might be wrong but isn't there a website that has these plans for download? If not, it would be great to get some tracings from someone. I'm not sure if that website's models are direct from the kit design or just similar. The kit I have has everything except for what is below the really...
