My helicoil came and the threads are repaired and the engine is back together. It took some patient persuasion to get the threads in the rocker arm pin to grab the new threaded insert in the...

Esmithga, that's brilliant. Must have been VERY satisfying. Now you can get years and years more out of your 80 twin.

Esmithga, thank you very much for this info! This thread is amazing. I ordered the 3mm helicoil. That is a no-brainer. A much more reliable fix than JB Weld would ever be! And to think at first I...

Glowgeek, Thank you for your very insightful comments. That picture was taken after the rocker pin had fallen out. The rocker arm is unsupported in that picture. For comparison sake I took the...

The picture shows what I saw. Metallic city! Gotta do something. But to your point about the rocker cover holding the pin in place, it was running fine....

The threaded hole in the rocker perch has just a slight amount of thread left. I planned on (carefully) epoxying the pin to both sides of the rocker perch. I was going to attack the holes in the...

I took the valve covers off for inspection and I'm really glad I did! The exhaust side rocker arm pin fell right out. It must have come loose. The threads are done, both in the pin and the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I am running a Saito .91 inverted. I do have onboard glo and love it. It idles very well without the glo turned on, but I like the extra insurance. I went with the Electrodynamics brand. I had SR...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

Try this link to another thread where the pictures are normal. I need to learn how to copy pictures from one message to another.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

This is how I supported my flex pipe in my GP Super Skybolt ARF with a hose clamp. I used a chunk of plastic from a servo wheel to serve as a washer between the hose clamp and the fuselage bottom.

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I had a problem with a loose exhaust header. Vibrating while loose actually stripped out the threads and cost me a new head. Ugh. I was told by the tech at Horizon to check the locknut on the...

RE: Welcome to Club SAITO !

I have two Saito 91S's. Great engines. One is in a Sig AstroHog and the other was in a Yellow Extra300L and is now being installed in a Great Planes Super Skybolt ARF inverted with on-board glow. ...
