anyone tryed those oneway muffler bearings? The suck on bumpstarts but the reduce transfiguration of the muffler gasket. Are they really that good? If you lube them too much do they slip?

You cheated!
I wonder how many people have actually done it with a PC.

Alot of people just don't know the proper technique in getting their bearings straight in the first place! Crooked bearings are just inviting problems.

Ya know, I have been having problems with my OS 32SX-H overheating, do you guys think it is the thermostat or it is a faulty radiator cap?
Try asking a young guy at autozombie for a 65 VW Beetle radiator cap some time if you want a laugh.

Clean the inside of the muffler in a bucket of steam; then take about six inches of chow line to dryout and polish the inside of the muffler (chowline is great for this kind of clean up and polish); and finally relube with true bearing grease available at your local US Navy surplus store...Caution...Don't use the relative bearing grease as it will not hold the bearings in their true position...[img][/img]

Hey wait a minute, I've went through chow lines and bearings is not what got cleaned out on me. But hey, I do believe you could substitute the bearings out of a bore evacuator from a M1 Abrahams. They look like the right size.

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I seem to have a problem. After several flights today I found my plane extremely sensitive to control. I found on inspection the plane had become rather tail heavy due to an accumulation of propeller pitch all over the tail planes. I tried my usual plane cleaner on it but it wouldn't come off. Does anyone have a good cleaner for this stuff?

I love this forum...I like when I can give back what I have learned...
I had the same problem and a friend at the club had some gyroscopic solution..worked perfectly and my plane balanced right up...This stuff is so good, I cleaned the relative bearings and converted them to true bearings and very stable...My muffler is now perfect...

Oooohh, hehe, I can be kind of a stinker in a restaurant. You know when the hostess always asks you how many are in your party, especially when clearly, it's just two people? I've thrown many of them totally off guard when I blurted out 40, lol. They are immediately shocked, lol.
My latest one, we ordered something at Mc Donalds drive through, at the end of the order I told them that it was for here. You'll get some funny reactions with that one as well

I had a room mate and I answered the phone, "Pizza Hut will this be carry out or delivery?"...Click...They called back and I answered..."Domino's, will this be carry out or delivery?"...Click...
An hour later we get a phone call and my room mate answers...2 seconds later he asked me to never answer the phone again...His mom kept trying to get ahold of him and thought she was dialing the wrong number...

Not only can you screw one's head about mechanical things. Next time your at a resturant, with a serious face, ask for diet water. ![Big Grin](https://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

If you've ever had a problem with sinusoidal depleneration, reset the dingle arm and then watch this video:

the deal is used muffler bearings have to be wraped in flight line then soaked in a bucket of prop wash, for two days. then the bearings will do fine.

I usually grease my Muffler Bearings with Salad oil, it last's much longer and tolerates higher operating temps. I have a different problem on my giant scale P-51, the Landing Light in the Wheel Well is leaking Oil,several attempts to fix it failed.

I had this problem years ago and found the bearings weren't aligned relative to the pipe axis. You need to check alignment with a simi-digital aneroseter. The aneroseter is also useful for resetting IDs, but that would be another forum topic!

simple pre-lube it with midnight oil, the excess will burn off.
it can be found at any Wallmart next to musk oil and mink oil.

What you really need is right hand smoke shifter. Then you do not have to worry about monkey wrenches or lubing the bearings. The smoke shifter along with a wooden welding rod will fix it right up for you.

After reading all this I went to pep boys and asked for new muffler bearings because my VW makes a rattle at about 3500 rpm, they laughed at me. Then I asked about my AC and they said I needed free on ? It wasnt free, they said put the can in the car. Its sitting there and im no colder
