[@mikeaarestad7546]

The exhaust AD is important because behind that firewall is a fuel line that goes over to the other wing crossfeed/shutoff valve and if compromised (burnt thru) there’s no way to shut off the fuel feed from the main tip fuel tank during a leak (fire). Inspect every 50 hrs.

You know, when you put things on loosely to be tightened at a later time, sometimes not all points are addressed and tightened. Be very careful.

[@rebuildrescue]

Good point. We actually use torque seal paint markings on every connection and nut/bolt after it’s properly torqued. It makes for an accurate inspection assuring us everything is properly tightened now and moving forward.

[@williamconner9407]

After having watched every episode on the channel, a thought occurred to me. I really wonder, once the 401 makes its first flight, how much of the refurb bill from start to finish will have been spent solely on rivets, screws, bolts, washers and nuts? Anyone keeping track of that?

[@rebuildrescue]

We’re keeping track of it all. I kind of added it up the other day and felt a little dizzy afterwards…. lol. But once this engine compartment and is buttoned up with all brand new houses and fittings…. Screws… nuts…. Bolts…. It’ll be something to admire and we’ll know it’s as good as any 401 will EVER be.

You had set an unrealistic time frame of last year's Oshkosh show, and now have past that goal by a year or more. Do you have a target completion for the 401?

[@davidpage3893]

I remember the episode when the 401 was expected to be rebuilt, inspected and certified airworthy before last year’s air show at Oshkosh. The problem with this rebuild was finding compatible parts and at times took weeks or months to get them. I say at the pace this is going perhaps by mid spring 2025 we will see the FAA certification flight. It’s been a long process and these guys are very careful with each new part going into this project. It will fly again. After a few shakedown test flights and tweaking to get the best operating parameters please bring this plane to the Bar Harbor Trenton Airport here in Maine next summer for us to see it. This will give you an excuse to dine on our fine lobster and have some of our great beers we brew here. Hope to see some of you next summer, best of luck to EVERYONE involved in this project.

[@vannyboxadventures7327]

As a licensed aircraft engineer with multiple type ratings on commercial aircraft in Europe, I am very surprised with the amount of guess work on this aircraft such as what fastening hardware to use, the orientation of components, pipe work to use are the AMMs and IPC’s really that bad for this aircraft ?? Failing that have you not got enough pictorial and videography evidence to aid you? Love the series and this project btw she will be a sweet machine!

[@rebuildrescue]

There’s zero guess work. We follow the manufactures (Cessna) factory parts and repair manual. Even before we turn the first bolt on an install we completely review the parts and repair manual with the team. While rebuilding the 401 is how many pieces of wrong hardware was installed on it in the past. Replacing everything with new hardware while following manuals from 1969 hoping to find the correct hardware in stock somewhere is a monumental task. Discussing the install of newly overhauled parts and test fitting everything especially on wings that have been totally rebuilt is not only a good practice it’s necessary. This old bird is going to be brand new and 110% perfection. I can’t wait to see the Phoenix fly…. Thank you for being part of the journey 👍🏼

First time I have seen a second outlet on a turbo compressor housing. I was just getting ready to ask if it was bleed air for cabin pressurization when you showed the blowoff valve. 😂

The 401A isn’t pressurized but if it was that’s where the pressurization would come from like the 421’s and 414’s

[@grantensrud9185]

@rebuildrescue I'm a Marine Corps veteran. For the majority of time, I wrenched on F-4 Phantoms. They used bleed air off the compressor section of their J-79 for a multitude of things.

[@Kneemako]

Why is the pressure blow off up on one side and down on the other?

[@rebuildrescue]

It because of the turbo exhaust outlet being on the outside of the left and right engines. It flips each turbo opposite of each other.

Jason do those exhaust pipes get wrapped or does airflow keep them and bits around them cool?

[@rebuildrescue]

They don’t get wrapped however parts of the exhaust get heat shields installed along with the turbo.

[@i.r.wayright1457]

You have to be able to be able to inspect for cracks in all the exhaust system components. I found a crack in the four way transition below the turbo on a 340 once. That heavy cast item couldn't stand the heat. On the same 340 there was a fuel line, with a corroded flare, at the fuel selector valve (in the wing, outboard of the nacelle.) Not a good idea to have a leak in that spot. One 340 was blown out of the air by that failure and the debris field was used as a training aid for NTSB investigators, after it was relocated at their facility in Arizona. The students were instructed to determine the cause of the crash from the wreckage.
