RE: Everything Radial Engines
Update (the crank play on radial)
The reason the crank moves forward and back = The movement forward and back, sliding on the wrist pins...
If I don't want movement....... The crank needs to be pulled up tight, and then place the prop hub on...
This leaves the piston rods, slid all the way forward on the wrist pins, and the crank counter balance up, against the bearing....
done deal....
One more note.... The prop hub on the Saito 325 is soooo tight, it has to be heated up in order to be moved.....It isn't going ANYWHERE....
