Pietenpol-List: Alliance Ohio Fly-in

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: "Pietflyer1977"
I had the exact same thing happen to my Model A. Looked just the same. The other3 pistons were all in the beginning stages and were not far behind the firstone. After getting apart I found that the piston to wall clearance on a A isonly .002. And seamed way to tight to me. I had all my cylinders honed out to.004 for more clearance due to running hard for a period of time. But after thinkingabout it for a long time because I never really knew that caused it, itwas really bugging me. And I got to thinking one night that with all the troubleI have on a daily basis with China made parts in my business I wonder it somethingis up with the new China made pistons? ( that is all you can buy thesedays ) Maybe the alloy is not right and these pistons are not expanding etc.at the correct rates? My opinion is that something is up with the new pistons( maybe not ) but I just don't know. Haven't ran mine again yet but if I wasyou I would search high and low to find some NOS parts to rebuild your engine.Hope you don't have any more trouble and would like to hear progress reportsof how it's going.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Alliance Ohio Fly-in

I am based 60 north of Brodhead. We were in bad shape up until the past weekend. All seems good now and it should be dry here for the next week (according to the forecast). Sunday was the first day I was able to take theRocket out since May, it has been so wet.The real problem this year will be the mosquitos. The rain has made a real good crop this year.John HofmannVice-President, Information TechnologyThe Rees Group, Inc.2424 American LaneMadison, WI 53704Phone: 608.443.2468 ext 150Fax: 608.443.2474Email: jhofmann(at)reesgroupinc.comOn Jul 11, 2013, at 10:38 AM, airlion2(at)gmail.com wrote:> > Does anyone know about the field conditions at Brodhead?
