 |
|
I am trying to install the tie rods on the bottom of the engine and am getting interference from the aluminum oil lines down there. Is there an anti-chafe material that I can use there or do I have to cut new oil lines to avoid any contact with the tie rods. It seems like kind of a foolish system for controlling the baffles. Why not just screw tabs on each cylinder?

I don't have the plans here but if I remember correctly, the plans calls for cutting some of the provided clear plastic tubing.

Slip a length of tubing over the tie rods. The lower parts of the
baffles don't have to be perfect .... tighten the nuts to snug the
aluminum up but not stretch the tab. Also, use washers under the nuts
(bigger is better) and Locktite one nut so that you can remove the other
nut and slip the tierod out.

Note that the build manual seems to recommend that you use the supplied plastic pipe (it only says something about 1/4" tube. )
The supplied tube that I see is Parker Parflex N 1/4" x .035 tube.
This tubing is only good to 193 degrees if it is the Nylon tube shown in Parker's manual.
Correct me if I am wrong......please

Mine melted like wax. But somehow the tie rod doesn't rub the oil lines, so
the tubing isn't needed in my case. But those lines are pretty delicate and
if anything is close to touching them, then you'll have to do something to
prevent contact..
