Saito 45
RCM Magazine has a very good Saito engine hand book available thru them. It will get you thru the process, cam timing is a problem w/out some guidance. Good luck

Down here in the BAY STATE, I've got some info I can scan for you...
Dear Scalebldr:
The PIPE here yet AGAIN-and since I've had a Saito 45 in THIS plane (soon to be replaced with a Saito 56 I already have for MORE power)...
my model of
OLD RHINEBECK AERODROME's Fleet 16B Finch Canadian biplane, I DO have MANUALS on the Saito FA-45 for your needs!
I'd have to know if your engine is one that's SO old that the cylinder head actually BOLTS ONTO the cylinder itself...that's how old MINE is...or if you've got a "Mark II" version with the now-"regular" all-in-one cylinder and head together.
Just send me an Email letting me know just WHAT version of the Saito FA-45 you've got...and I'll scan it up, convert it to JPEGs, and send it along! (Dont forget to include YOUR Email address, so I'll know where to send it!)
Yours Sincerely,
The PIPE!

Sweet Bipe
Pipe...............
Your picture just reminded why I love old Bi-Planes so much.
Especially listening to the 4 stroke purr away while you bank those old dual wings over head.
When you are ready to let that classic go, Im first in line to buy it.
