Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Got my new CB663 XXX bearings today but my new micrometer won’t be here until Wednesday. Odds should be in my favor that I get some good bearings.

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
I received a new set of CB663xxx and they are good enough to install in a rod and check for clearance. Each shell got checked six places along the part lines for thickness variance and recorded in the Dumbo book

Re: Dumbo The Flying Elephant
Out of the 96 places checked .0588” to .0595”, so thick to thin was .0007 and no shell had a variation of more than .0004.
Now they will be installed in the rods and checked for vertical clearance and taper. If all of that is ok Dumbo will have a fresh set of bearings. Hats off to the real engine builders that have to fight this kind of stuff on a daily basis. |
