Engine going back together. I need some more accurate information on installation of the impeller and the clearances involved.

How about talking to the flyboys in the Confederate Air Force? The Sexton engine is derived from an aircraft engine. It makes sense to me that those guys rebuild enough warbird engines to have passed along the answers to your questions like folklore.

Jesse,

Is this what you mean with the "impeller shaft oil slinger"?

The oil slinger is a modification, that predates the manual TM 9-1725, but is not covered in the manual. The directions in the mod order are not as clear as I would like, and my slinger is definately out of specs. It's not something I'm going to throw together untill I'm sure. Thats a good idea about contacting the CAF. Jesse.

I don't think that Doug has too many more photos but he checks into MLU regularly and can reply to that. I, on the other hand, have a number of Sexton photos that did not make it into the book and these will find their way onto http://www.ramtank.ca/sexton.htm in the near future. More photos here http://www.ramtank.ca/sexton_photos.htm

BTW; Those of you working on the R975 C-4. The information in the manual concerning cutting lengths for the ignition wires may be incorrect for your engine. The ignition harness main conduit described in the manual has a smaller radius than the one on my engine. The cutting lengths listed in the manual are to short for it. Jesse.

Weve been working on the vehicle itself for the last two weeks. Inside is finally clean, and mostly painted. Installed the gun today in the rain. Waiting for Some cylinders to be chromed, and some rings. Jesse.

Jesse,

I'm sure it doesn't seem quick to you, but from my perspective it looks like you're at a sprint! I can't believe how far you've come with the Sexton. Great work!
