This is one of the only pictures
I took of my engine cores. They were so hideous that I thought I might
break my camera. But I know that there is a diamond in the ruff inside.
I purchased four 110hp engine cores. One will be a "stock" 2700cc
engine conversion. The other will be a 3100cc big bore and have all the
trick parts. That engine will come later and be a complete engine swap
in the aircraft.

Here is one of the engines
disassembled and at Knight Hawke Experimental
Aircraft to make the Prop Hub's and starter setup for the two engines.
I made a top cover plate from some 1/4" 6061-T651. I clamped the
stock baffle to the top plate marked the outside with a sharpie pen then
drilled all the holes while it was still clamped.

All the old engine parts were
disassembled and cleaned with Castrol's Super Clean solvent. Wear gloves.
This stuff can be nasty with prolonged exposure. Don't let aluminum parts
soak even for a few minutes it will start attacking the aluminum. Clean
the aluminum part and wash with soap and water immediately. I did a test
with a unusable head and let it soak overnight. It wasn't a pretty picture
in the morning.
