The stock rings are hard and take forever to break in.
Bill was probably seeing chipped edges?
Ok, below is what BCCHI said in his post, It looks like there maybe a problem with the rings wearing out too quickly or not seating properly. He even says he has a 30 that has poor compression. read below.
The ring we took out looked like crap under a mag glass.I am flying one 30 that has pretty poor compression not much time on this one<hr />
I was REALLY hoping by now most if any bugs were worked out of the dle 30 engine. I got Burned SSOOOOO bad on my first one, that now I am gun shy about buying another one.
You w8ye are somebody I trust, and you posted a question as to maybe the ring had chipped edges. What would cause the chipped edges?
I have read so much about how the 30 engine has so much power. That I would like to put one on one of my planes I am using to learn 3d on.
Can anybody suggest a good reliable 30cc engine? Just pm me. Thanks to all!!
<hr />The way your post came through...what one person said & what you said kinda ran together so I placed a line in between.<hr />Now there is nothing wrong with the DLE30 except that some rings are too hard & do not break in good. It takes a lot of time, so I want a Bowman ring for faster break-in and I think in the long run a ring that seats in fast is going to be much more easy on the cylinder and less wear will take place.
Now you say you got burnt on a engine...was it a DLE? & what is the story on that engine. Thanks Capt,n
Hi capt,n and thanks for the info. I have some very good freinds on here that have sent me PM's and given me all the info I need to do the needed upgrades on the engine I am going to buy. And by the way thanks for the info on the ring, You and others are very helpful. And I am grateful for your help.
I have been selling gas engines for awhile now and have learned alot. But I am learning the value of buying a good engine and then doing any desired upgrades, like the bowman ring you mentioned, before I even put an engine on the stand and run it the first time.
As far as the first dle 30 I bought that I had problems with, I am done with even talking about it. Please forgive me cap, I just am tired of all the bs that gets started.
All I want is to get a 30cc engine set up and GO HAVE FUN!!
Thanks to everyone who has sent me pm's May God bless you all!!
