 Posted: Sun Jun 08, 2008 9:44 am Post subject: FYI Corvair starter gear fracture |
 |
|
For Your Information....
I have 90+ hours on my 601HDS with a Corvair engine.
During engine teardown I found two fractures on the front starter ring gear. One fracture was 1/4 long and on the top part of one web. The second fracture was completely across the bottom of a web and was hidden by the alternator pully. Will replace with a solid ring gear with no webs.
Fly safe.

GPJ,
We have been seeing a lot of fractures (one of ours included) and 7 more I know of. I have just received the first shipment of the new CNC machined solid ring gears and will be making an update on the web site tonight offering these for sale. We had a standard ring gear tested and found the center hole to have been slightly offset causing it to run untrue. That's why we decided to CNC cut the center hole and test it to 4,000 rpm's to insure it runs true.

Do you know if you cracked the Nissan Sentra gear or the Ford Probe gear?
