Engine Making Metal (Was: Nasa Icing courses)
And mechanical failures should have simple explanations, no? WHY did
one of the cam lobes fail? Why didn't ALL of the cam lobes fail? Timeless issue. www.aviationconsumer.com has hours of reading on the subject. The common factor is infrequent flying. I suppose the *real* issue should be: Why do camshafts work at all? When you sit down and rationally analyze what is happening inside your engine, the danged thing should just throw itself to pieces in the first ten minutes of operation. Yet, most of them don't. Some, however, like Ray's engine, do -- and in very peculiar ways. (Just ONE cam lobe went bad?) Why? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
