so I've been researching the different methods of getting that "perfect" seal between the cylinder and the head:
lapping of both surfaces, use of a metal O-ring (common on watercooled cars, not much material on an aircooled cylinder), copper head gasket, "fire seal" as used on 935's, and Jakes use of a carbon seal what else am I missing? non-stock motor such as high compression and or turbocharged |

QUOTE(Special_K @ Apr 20 2004, 11:21 AM) Kinda like the Cox 049 engines used for little control line airplanes... yeah, and have the cylinders screw into the block and do away with head bolts all together. ..Might be a little tricky keeping the deck height equal. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I remember those cox engines. You could adjust the deck height with shims no problem, but I do remember those suckers always loosening up and flying off. Didn't have a torque wrench when I was 12, but I bet jake did. dr |
