I have solod on 150 one of the people in millions I am sure.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

JFC. The safety vests are out in force in this one. Likely no working skills, but they ‘know safety’ lol

Why is oil leaking from the side of the combitor? What could be the problem? I have a John Deere 310L with that problem

what adapter have you got on the pump to get to the correct schrader size? I tried a shoebox compressor but couldn't find the correct fittings! 😅

Great video, my 76RG Cardinal failed to retract the landing gear yesterday. The gear motor has a light installed that didn't activate. Is there a way to troubleshoot without jacking the plane?

How do you get the rocker arm and shaft back in? Thanks for the vid

I made my own dynamic balancer using an accelerometer and optical sensor from Amazon, a tablet app, and 2 channel HANTEK oscilloscope that uses a tablet or laptop's screen. It produces a sine wave from the accelerometer and a pulse from the optical sensor and when I'm at the RPM I want to measure, I do a screen freeze and shut the engine down. I measure the difference in milliseconds from the peak of the sine wave to the start of the pulse, convert to a ratio, and multiply by 360. I don't get an IPS result (I can only measure raw millivolts from the accelerometer), just a sine wave showing fewer millivolts amplitude. I ended up with about 20 grams on the ring gear of my Lyc O-290 after 3 tries which produced a sine wave with just noise, no discernible sinusoidal pattern. Significant improvement in the cockpit, and I gained about 100 RPM at the same manifold pressure with a fixed pitch prop. I think remaining vibration I still have is from the engine's torque pulse rocking couple.

Thanks for this educational video. It helps me to understand what the stick valve problem is, how to fix it. I am now more conscientious in leaning the engine while taxiing! Is there any product that dissolves and cleans the carbon deposits to prevent the stick valve problem?

I’m an auto mechanic and find it amazing how you did that without putting the head!!

Good stuff!

compression testing should be done with 2 people.

That was terrible way in terms of safety

You can also jamb a common screwdriver between the valve and the rocker.

This is a great example of how NOT to do this test. Keeping any part of your body in the prop arc with more than 20 psi or so in the cylinder is asking for trouble. There is simply no reason to do that. If you have the prop at TDC, it isn’t going to move under 80 psi. If you don’t, it may well move and you don’t want to be in the way.

excellent tutorial thanks Sir. best wishes NZ

so you started with a strut with no oil in it. How did you get the old oil out of the strut?

Any reason this wouldn't work on the larger Continentals? Like the 520?

Great set-up, thanks for sharing!

Truly appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience.

Man I’m getting ready to go look at a 310j, now I’m kinda nervous about it. It has over 4K hours

Good to see the Eighty-Five Hundred line has been set aside; the BEST with this new LINE.

How can you be sure of the gauge from the cyiinder when they both read the same? A new gauge is not that expensive. I wouldn't trust a guess on it.

Excellent tip when the lifter is full of oil.

Thanks for sharing. I'm under the impression that you're not a backhoe mechanic but am greatly impressed by your knowledge and drive to get this job done. I do have a 310sj and this is one of my most feared things along with having to pull the engine off the machine. I wonder how much it cost you and can't imagine how much it would be if you had to take it to a JD Service dealer.

Where's Part 3? Did you get to run the 310sj again? I'm pretty sure you did. Thanks

Good video, thank you for sharing your tricks with great explanations

How much oil goes in?

If you push the other button it averages the balance and you don’t have to watch it and remember it.

What is the likley cause of a sticky valve. What do you recommend to prevent this from ocurring. Running as lean as possible? Additives? What would be the likely cause if it is a recurring problem?

What is maintenance doing ,when valve clearench over limit gap???

Very good

What about taking measures to prevent engine start?

Super thank

Compressed air to hold valve in place. That's how I have replaced valve seals on automotive engines. Wondered why in aviation everyone seems to use the rope trick. Would it have been a good idea to lap the valve while you were at it?

A good trick shown to me by a mentor that taught me the "rope trick" is to tie dental floss around the keeper groove on the valve. Push the valve in and fish the floss out of the upper spark plug hole with a piece of safety wire with a small hook bent on the end and pull it up by the floss to clean the stem. After cleaning the guide when the valve is back in the cylinder bore, fish the floss back through the guide and it usually pulls right back in.

very interesting and pretty easy, thanks for sharing.

Neat trick. Very clever.

Nice job I did that a few times in the 80s when my 150 was doing traffic reporting around Boston. They flew it 5 hrs a day slow flight so the 100 LL plugged up the valves and spark plugs regularly. I cut 2 fingers off a 4 finger pick up tool went threw the bottom plug hole.

Next time try pushing about 6 feet of cloths line in the spark plug hole and turn the prop until it holds the valve in place. Works even if the valve is bad

Do you shake your customers hand with your right hand covered in very infectious warts. Yuck such a turn off.

Add four ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil to each ten gallons of gasoline in fuel tank. You will never stick a valve again. This has been a sure bet for almost a hundred years. ‘costs almost nothing.

A Compression Test '' is the pressuse elevated by it self thru Cylinder Rotations '' who ever continuing ''..

I must informed this Gentleman ' that what he is doing Is Not Compression Test,,, What this Gentleman is doing is a Differencial Cylinder test ...I have a conversation with A Continental Engeener ..he also was wrong Educated

Waste of time, the guide is worn and will get stuck again. This is only a good technique to get a airplane back home. Not at annual, needs to be removed and repaired properly

I pulled the hydraulic tank. We have a crane and there are only a few hyd hoses. My trans was so covered in old dirt and oil I had to take an air chisel to get to the bolt heads.

Thanks for the advice. I pulled a 210K trans today, with help from your video. Mine is just the o’ring on the outside of the pump. I will check my converter to pump fit very closely.

Nice video! Reminds me of a joke about former gynecologist looking to become a mechanic, who took the engine apart and then built it together -- all through the muffler!

nice

Well done

Nice! Thanks!
