Re: Need Help With 295 Robin Engine
Usually when the rods break they leave aluminum on the crank. The rod material is much softer than the crank. If it is aluminum on the crank I use muratic acid (used for swiming pool) at home Depot.
Find a glass container (meat loaf dish) & sit the crank on it so the journals are down in the dish. Fill with acid until journals are covered & let sit until bubbling stops. This should remove the aluminnum from the journal. Rince with water & then use WD40 to coat the crank. The acid can be put back in the jug & reused. The journal can be cleaned up with emery cloth & then checked for size. Wear rubber gloves, safety visor & glasses when using acid. GeneB |

Re: Need Help With 295 Robin Engine

Re: Need Help With 295 Robin Engine
Yeah I Was Hoping That Would Be The Case But It Left Grooves On The Journal. Machine Shop Buddy Took His Polish Sander To It And It Still Has The Grooves And Its The Same Size As The Other Journal Now Still Needs More. Was Hoping To Find A Undersized Rod But To No Avail. So Thanks Anyway. Troy

Re: Need Help With 295 Robin Engine
Hogs - can let you know in a few days. I have a 290 that threw a rod. Lots of aluminium. seems to have cleaned up real good with wire brush on drill and sand paper. I have put the bottom end back together with a new rod and plan on having it running by the weekend.
