'Hi group,What's the best way to clean carbon from the cylinder head, exhaust and intake ports? How about the paint from the outside of the cylinder?Thanks, Mark Gilmore(Working on Brett Gilmore's 81288 Warner)'

' Dip them in a gallon or so of carb cleaner. It will take it all off, including paint

Re: Cleaning Warner cylinders
'The best and easiest way is to send the cylinder in for service. If your cylinder needs chroming they have to bead blast it anyway, no matter how clean it is when they receive it. If for whatever reason you want to clean it your self, bead blasting with medium grit (80) works well but, you need a pretty good air compressor and blast cabinet. The large Harbor Freight cabinet works well if the exhaust vent is connected to a shop vac. They also sell the glass bead. As Jan said, earlier, the paint comes off easy with the carb cleaner. I personally have not had success with the carbon. maybe I am using the wrong brand. Caution, if you send it out to be cleaned anywhere other than an FAA certified shop, be absolutely sure that they will use glass bead and not sand.JP.

Hi group, What's the best way to clean carbon from the cylinder head, exhaust and intake ports? How about the paint from the outside of the cylinder? Thanks, Mark Gilmore (Working on Brett Gilmore's 81288 Warner)

The best and easiest way is to send the cylinder in for service. If your cylinder needs chroming they have to bead blast it anyway, no matter how clean it is when they receive it. If for whatever reason you want to clean it your self, bead blasting with medium grit (80) works well but, you need a pretty good air compressor and blast cabinet. The large Harbor Freight cabinet works well if the exhaust vent is connected to a shop vac. They also sell the glass bead. As Jan said, earlier, the paint comes off easy with the carb cleaner. I personally have not had success with the carbon. maybe I am using the wrong brand. Caution, if you send it out to be cleaned anywhere other than an FAA certified shop, be absolutely sure that they will use glass bead and not sand.JP.

The best and easiest way is to send the cylinder in for service. If your cylinder needs chroming they have to bead blast it anyway, no matter how clean it is when they receive it. If for whatever reason you want to clean it your self, bead blasting with medium grit (80) works well but, you need a pretty good air compressor and blast cabinet. The large Harbor Freight cabinet works well if the exhaust vent is connected to a shop vac. They also sell the glass bead. As Jan said, earlier, the paint comes off easy with the carb cleaner. I personally have not had success with the carbon. maybe I am using the wrong brand. Caution, if you send it out to be cleaned anywhere other than an FAA certified shop, be absolutely sure that they will use glass bead and not sand.JP.

Dip them in a gallon or so of carb cleaner. It will take it all off, including paint

Hi group, What's the best way to clean carbon from the cylinder head, exhaust and intake ports? How about the paint from the outside of the cylinder? Thanks, Mark Gilmore (Working on Brett Gilmore's 81288 Warner)

Interesting Fairchild project for sale
'? Giday, Lads. I've been off the list for some time and could use a some input from anyone that may be able to help. I'm having to give up on my Fairchild 51 project. Yes, a 51...not a PT nor a 24. A google search will show a few examples and really it was the little brother to the Fairchild 71 or FC2W2. Bob Reeve started up Reeve Aleutian Airlines with a 51. 44' wingspan, 7' wing chord, high / folding wing, wood wing, tube fuselage and all fabric covered. Single seat up front, two singles behind it and one two place bench behind that, plus a large baggage bay. Gross would be about 4,000 lbs and empty about 2,200. Engine was a Wright J5 of some 220 hp but I have a Housai ( Nanchang, similar to Yak) 285 hp Radial with controllable metal prop and stainless exhaust. About 300 hrs on 1st overhaul. The fuselage is complete and on the gear...Vultee BT13 wheels, new tires and tubes from Desser. Empennage is finished, needs rear struts. I'm in posession of what might the the last NOS lift strut blanks from a Norseman. Tail wheel is done. Two and 1/2 of the 4 box type wing spars are done. Rudder pedals and brakes are done. Three copies of the plans are on hand. I have an original control column assy from a 1929 Fairchild here. Panel is almost done, no instruments. Full air start system from Jim Kimball is on hand but not instaled. All important wing folding fittings are done...all the hard stuff is done. Will sell to interested party for far less than my $$ invested. If anyone is interested in this project, pls. email me direct dstroud at xplornet.com ( check that spelling) and we can talk. If anyone knows of a group or club that might take on such a project, pls. let me know. It would likely qualify as the largest homebuilt done, excluding those professionally finished by teams of pros, Burt Rutan and the like. The project is in Ottawa, Canada just North of New York State. I could assist with transport...border crossing is not a problem. Thanks lads.. Dave Stroud '
