Hi Again Mike,

  

   When I mentioned the initial overheating problems, besides the undersized radiator, the engine core was full of

 junk which clogged the radiator. When I flushed the block, I got over a cup of what looked like core sand out of it.

 That was AFTER the radiator was plugged. I would suggest to anyone having overheating problems with their

 NSI engines that they flush out the block and radiator in both directions several times. Do it into a bucket so you can observe the results and do them seperately, ie remove the radiator from the system and flush it seperately. Jay can provide

 a larger radiator and I can provide dimensions for brackets which make it a no brainer to install. BTY, NSI had the

 hoses hooked up backwards, so it will be necessary to replace one with a longer hose to make it reach properly.

 If anyone needs details, I can check mine and provide pictures.    Regards,  Floyd    N69FJ

This problem isn't restricted to NSI either.  My

flying buddy built a 2/3rds scale Jenny and installed

a MotoGuzzy engine in it.  Before he ran it, he opened

the pan and dumped about a cup full of shavings out of

it.  Seems they never cleaned that up after the engine

was milled/built.



My NSI was clean and ran smooth, but my main problems

have been keeping that oil pressure above 30 psi at

flight idle, which is my personal limit, and that darn

blow by oil seperator that wasn't right to begin with.

 Also I sure don't get the power I expected from it

for the fuel flow.



I expect to field strip it this year and do some

upgrades.  It will be worth it to know if all was well

when take it apart completely.

Kurt,

  Just a note regarding oil pressure. Per Jay Roese, who I trust

implicitly. If your oil pressure is 10 pounds per 1000 RPM,

you are good to go. ie: 1 pound per 100 RPM. So if you are ideling at 1200

RPM's 12 Pounds won't hurt the engine.

   Don't be afraid to give Jay a ring to explain this.   Regards,  Floyd
