Having seen your airplane a few times now I can imagine your smile and
the satisfaction of having kept the dream alive through the years.

Re: Revmaster - Splitting the case
Hi Kevin, you handsome devil. Revmaster has all of the parts needed to build a new engine that should bolt right in, and work on it will start soon. Still haven't had time to flip the fuselage over

Re: Revmaster - Splitting the case
Michael,
Yes. No need to remove the prop hub, just the flywheel. I'll send you a picture of the crankshaft as it was removed from the case,,,,minus one connecting rod.

Re: Revmaster - Splitting the case
Thanks everyone.
Dave:
Do you have any pictures you could share? Does the aluminum "nose bearing" come off with the hub and crank as one assembly when you do this?
Hot Wings:
Just ordered that

Re: Revmaster - Splitting the case
Please keep in mind that the prop hub bolt is threaded opposite of all other VW engines. In other words, you twist the bolt to the right (clockwise) to loosen it.

Re: Revmaster - Splitting the case
Remove the flywheel and prop hub bolts before splitting the case. Look up VW Flywheel Lock.
It is nothing more than a little device that bolts on the upper case bolts and engages the starter ring

Re: Revmaster - Splitting the case

I just split the case on my Revmaster, no need to remove the prop hub. I ground down a socket to get a thin walled socket to remove the flywheel bolts. I don't know what the seal sizes

Revmaster - Splitting the case
Anyone here have experience tearing down a Revmaster? I've gotten down to the flywheel and can't tell if there is anything special I need to do with the front bearing before I continue on; the manual

Re: Plugs
Hi Mike (Dwyer),
Can you offer some suggestions on the MA3SPA, I have to set mine up…
I don’t have it to hand but I seem to recall the supplied instructions were a little light.
Thanks, Tim

Very fun to watch.
Thank you Sam and Peter for making this.
Obviously Dave D. is trying to slow him down with that aluminum case suggestion. :)
I hear 68DD is
