    Lower Rebuild?

    So...if I remove the spark plugs on my 787 and try turning it over...oil flys out everywhere! It does turn over fine. But I was told that the oil coming out is a sign the lower needs to be rebuild due to seals that failed. I've done my share of 717 work. But never a lower. Is it a easy thing...

    Multi Function Gauge?

    Somewhere on here or Facebook I saw somebody took the fuel gauge out of a Speedster. They wired in a multi-function Gage from a newer model and wired it in place. They gave detailed instruction how they accomplish this. I thought I saved the information but I cannot find it. Does anybody...

    Plastic vs Stainless Wear Rings

    So I learned today that they now make or have been making stainless wear rings. Anyone have them? Seams like a great investment as you would never have to ever replace a wear ring again. But if the blade rubs, with plastic it can shave it down to fit. With stainless, its not a good outcome...
