Hi Quickie,

That little tiny bearing that supports the camshaft at the very back of the engine. Here's how I got it out. I heated the aluminum housing on my gas stove and then wacked the housing...

Looking at these parts I have to believe those four bearings are toast! I would NOT sandblast those parts. Scotchbright or media blast with walnut shells.

You're not taken as a jerk. A man with an opinion I would say. I contacted Noel about a rebuild "kit" for my .46 4-C and when he learned that I already had a Frank Bowman ring he pulled the ring...

Don't assume those bearings are OK. I did on my first tear-down of my .46. I can almost guarantee that small bearing in the cam case is junk if you have all that rust inside the engine., Subsequent...

I wound up replacing all four bearings in my .46 4-C due to corrosion. I had no rust on anything else. Wait till you try to replace that itty bitty bearing in the cam housing. I've got a trick for...

Thanks, that's good advice. I printed the user manuals for both the 49PI and the later 49PI Type II. The manual for the 49PI recommends 25% and the 49PI Type II is 15%. Maybe I'll break it in with...

OS Wankel .30

I just thought I share this with anyone who is anticipating the purchase of an old OS Wankel.

I just got my Wankel on eBay a few days ago. Just as I suspected, the crank or output shaft and rotor...

Try a fellow named Bob Brooks at [email protected]. He sells on eBay and can probably locate or has what you need at a reasonable price. Then there's always Ken Enya at Enya Metal Works.

Hey Quickie,

I only buy Enya. I have an .09 all the way up to a 1.55 4C. I just took delivery of a new, never run .19 VI 4006 (for $18.50). Yep, I love Enyas.

The "Hair-On-Fire" you can never use too much nitro boat guys would disagree with you also.

Thank you. I break my Enyas in very gently. Lots of castor, minimal nitro. 1 to 2 minute runs and a complete cool down between runs. See, I've been reading the good advice you gentlemen have been...

I hope my brand new .40 BB runs that well. It's going in a Brodak Oriental. Nice test stand by the way! I also like your choice of fuel mix.

It's pretty easy with a dial indicator. Set it on your valve spring retainer. If you place it on the pushrod end of your rocker arm your reading won't be accurate. If you want to check the...
