Thank you for posting

Looks like it's in great shape despite the bearings being bad. I wonder if that greenish film is from Morgan's Cool Power fuel.

[@KonosSakkos]

Hey nice video what are you using to get out the rust from the engines ?

[@grimthenoble]

I think if you notice there are marks on the connecting rod caps make sure they go back together the way they came off, I think you had the first one reversed.

[@dmrcflyr2]

Oh crap! Thanks.

If you have a hard time removing the bearing from the crank case, try heating it up and tapping it down on a piece of soft wood. It might come out easily. Can't wait to compare the sound and performance of this engine to a single crank pin style engine.

[@dmrcflyr2]

I have been doing that and it will not budge. I do not think the small bearing has enough mass to make that an effective form of removal. With a heavier bearing such a a rear crankcase bearing that method works well and I use it all the time, but this one is too small for that. I already have videos of boxer style and single pin crank twin engines on my channel. Single pin engines: Saito FA-80T, 90T and 100T. Boxer style OS FT-300, OS FT-120 II, and the ASP FT-160.

What you can also do us to put some soft soap where the camshaft goes and tap it gently with a wooden dowel with a snug fit. the pressure will lift the bearing from the case. this guy does it with bread. I much prefer the soap: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmGynXprep2pgs0

[@dmrcflyr2]

I actually did Mike's suggestion again for about the 5th time. The bearing is out now. Now to wait for the new bearings!!!!

[@mikeeiben3430]

Thanks for reminding me of this method. I recall seeing a video similar to this using wet paper towel pieces instead of bread or soap. I haven't had the opportunity to try it out. Unfortunately I forgot about it.

[@Skammy5]

Dave. It's hot. Quit touching it.

[@grimthenoble]

Buy yourself a good set of o.s. allen head tools.. using cheap ass allen wrenches makes me nervous lol

[@dmrcflyr2]

At $30 a piece or $279 for the set, no I don't think so. I graciously accept gifts though....LOL!

[@DBJr1980]

Holy crap, they must be gold or platinum for that price.

[@dmrcflyr2]

Actually they are ONLY $199 at Tower.

[@DBJr1980]

For RC use, I tend to like MIP Thorp hex drivers. I believe they're stainless steel. The quality is great and they run about 10 bucks or so on ebay. I've never stripped a bolt using one.

[@grimthenoble]

They are worth the money though if you do a lot of wrenching as i do. They are extremely well built! Mips are decent comepare to the os tools.
