Lmao....

the Rush evo that i found in the skip had a piston liner gone," no compression" and was quoted £40 quid for another one.

I was given some advice, and i want to share it with you

Remove Piston Liner from engine, Then switch on the oven to full heat.

Get yourself a jubilee clip, fasten it to the Piston Liner, make sure its as tight as you can get it up to the top of the Piston Liner where there is a ridge.

Place Piston Liner with Clip fastened on to backing tray...Do Not add oil


leave to cook for 45mins turning ocassionaly.

take out of oven 45 mins later, then make sure you have an oven glove and tighten the jubilee clip as much as you can.

Place on a cold tray or doorstep and let it cool down naturally.

After about 30 mins check that it is stone cold. Add one Piston Liner to engine, Making sure you line up the slit on the liner with the marker on the engine.....Push down firmly.


You have now saved yourself loads of dosh

You have to run the engine in as if it was brand new

have fun.......


Mine is now working 100% and run in

can be done on any Piston Liner......any engine. As there only copper

 

quality bit of advice, cheers john.

 

Sounds a bit pikey but cool all the same

 

PMSL !!

See the thread & that you was last to reply ..

Then im reading John's 1st post ...

And im thinking what is Frayz going to make of this




Your reply tickled me

John

 

Nice one John!

 

I thought i was being tactful too

 

nice tip John, save yourself £40 a time, can't be bad and it actually works!!

 

although no one mentioned the annealing effects of this brass, from heating and cooling slowly, which actually softens it and increases the scoring factor!!!

a good work around, nonetheless 10/10!!!


edited to say, if my HNC serves me right, the correct process would be to quench it in acid as opposed to air cooling!!!

 

who gave you this tip, tony from heaths

 

 

Also isnt the engine of ABC design?

A=Aluminium piston
B=Brass sleeve
C=Chromium plated liner

?????

Therefore this would also distort the chromium liner of which will expand and contract at a different rate to that of the brass its attatched to?



If you had a Traxxas mate, they offer a lifetime engine replacemnet plan anyway.

You and Corni could spend more time enjoying your models as opposed to rebuilding the engine every 150 yards

 

Mate are trying to prove if people can die of to much laughter

 

When did he say that???

 

I was meaning tiny says you tickle us with your humor, then read it back and it came out wrong.

 

LOL

Most people dont get my humour.. its gets me in trouble sometimes

 

I can't think why...

 

just done the the liner on the .21 savage

it runs as though its brand new

 

looks like team rush evo is expanding

If you fancy a bash for few hours sunday morning, could go down the SEA WALL IN STANFORD good mixture of terrain there and a quiet road..

Meet at mine at 10.00am might have a sore head thou,,,

Dont tell sticki

EVERYBODY'S WELCOME LET US KNOW

 

No one said this was a permanent solution, just one answer to a problem. No- it's not going to last, but if it means keeping a car going until a new liner or engine is sourced, what difference does it make?

I don't call that pikey.

 

well said mate............its not worth commenting on threads anymore, as you only get you thread/post ripped to pieces and the p$ss taken out of you.

no comment..........

 

Kinn ell Corni

You had a bad day mate or what

Two of your posts tonight i have found aggresive ( Towards others ) Just not like you mate that's all
