Default Norvel spare parts

In my request to keep my engines running I like to have some spare parts. I found a source on the intenet but it lists the choices for .049 and .062 as (Note, these numbers DO NOT [always] match up with the Norvel part munbers).

NVL100401 NORVEL CYL/PISTON 049 BLACK FOR A4-A4R
NVL100402 NORVEL CYL/PISTON 061 BLACK FOR A6-A6R
NVL100405 NORVEL CYL/PISTON 049 BLACK FORT B4-B4R
NVL100405-1 NORVEL CYL/PISTON 049 SILVER FORT B4-B4R
NVL100406 NORVEL CYL/PISTON 061 BLACK FOR B6-B6R

What is the difference between the "silver" and the "black fort:?

As well, can anyone tell me tha different applications for the following headgaskets for a .15. Is is simply to adjust compression? Most imprtantly,,,which one should I purchase as spares?


NVL30011215 NORVEL CYLINDER GASKET 15
NVL300117023 NORVEL GLOW HEAD GASKET 15
NVL300117043 NORVEL GLOW HD GASKET 15[3.4mm
NVL300117065 NORVEL GLOW HD GASKET 15 [5]
NVL3001173 NORVEL GLOW HD GASKET 15 .1mm

The catalog numbers don't quite match the Norvel numbers and I was hoping is someone coudl give me the function and cedessity (as spares) of these parts it would greatly helo me out (especiall...what is a :black fort pistion" Same here...what should I have asoares?

Thanks always,

Rob

FORT is apparently a misspelling -- and should read simply FOR

A4 and A4R designate AME .049 C/L and the AME .049 RC respectively.

B4 and B4R are the Big Mig C/L and R/C .049 models.

A6, A6R, B6 and B6R are the AME and Big Mig .061 models -- the R is for R/C.

The BLACK is for the newer REVLITE AAO cylinder technology. The SILVER is the older AAN cylinder, smaller fins and notches for the cylinder screws.

The different head gasket thicknesses allow you to adjust compression -which as you (hopefully) will have realised through perusing this forum) is often required to fine tune engines for prop fuel and climatic condition variables. A great pity that Norvel seem to be the only manufacturer currently making this option available. If Cox had done it we would have had a lot less trouble over the years! A combination of thicknesses may be required for a particular fuel and prop, and the different thicknesses can be 'ganged' to produce a fairly wide variation in shimming. The better F1C engines in the past required this, and Rossis and in particular the superlative AD 15, had a range of head shims ranging from 0.0015" up to 0.007". If Norvel did the same thing for their smaller engines we'd be even better off!
