RE: NEW DLE30!

ORIGINAL: captinjohn

Well I got sick of working on other things to numerous to mention, so I installed the Frank Bowman ring in my DLE30 engine. I placed the ring in the bore to check end gap...perfect next to none. After I put everything back together (fun for me), I put the prop back on and man...what a difference in compression. I guess I will place the engine back on the test stand & fire it up. Outside temp has got to cool a bit first. The engine was off my plane anyway to finish redoing the fire-wall. This is a plane I just got in a trade....a Cap 232...

I will run the engine in about a hour....to hot & humid outside right now. Capt,n

I have Franks ring for my new not run DLE30 What should the end gap be? the instructions with the ring did not say.
What part of the bore did you check and what is your recomendation for the gap?

Thanks in advance Jk
