[rebel-builders] engine for sale

[Drew Dalgleish]

I had to go with the 90 degree angle type. With the straight mount the
filter hits the firewall( I found out the hard way. Aerosport was very good
to me though couriering the angle mount out the same day I called and no
extra charge just a request to send the other mount back when I got around
to it) It's a pain in the ass for changing though it's canted upward at a
45 degree angle and oil leaks everywhere when you unscrew it. If they have
a remote option it would be worth considering.

Drew, when you got your XP engine, did you get the straight spin on filter
or the angle type. Am just wondering which one fits better on the Rebel.

I was just joking Walter but it sounds like you've got it all figured out.
The one thing I should have bought with my engine but didn't is the roller
cam.

Constant speed won't do much for me on my floatplane Rebel. It is too slow.
CS helps most with faster airplanes like RVs because with fixed pitch they
are usually pretty coarse to optimize high cruise speed, and then can't

turn

very high rpm for take-off.

With my Sensenich, I turn 2500 rpm on take-off, and top out at 2720 at WOT
straight and level, so it is very well matched. At 2500 full throttle
take-off rpm, it is producing 140 hp, only 10 less than full rated 150 hp
for my engine. That is according to the Lycoming published power charts.

So 25 more pounds (or more) for a constant speed, would only give me about
10 more hp on a floatplane Rebel. The XP400 for those same 25 pounds has 40
more hp (220) than the XP360 (180), and you can go all the way to 250 hp
with high compression pistons, still at the same weight (310 pounds),
according to their website. So it sounds to me like a pretty hot machine.

Only problem is that the XP400 costs about 8 grand more than the XP360.

With all the weight you save by not putting on an XP400 you could go for a
constant speed prop. :)

Drew, I have a B&C 45 degree filter adapter on my 0-320 Tri Pacer, the
trick is to spike a small 1/8th hole in the top, and the oil drains out
thru the engine. After about 30 minutes you can unscrew the filter and
not have any spillage. FWIW.
We had remote on our super cub, but there is a lot more room.

t's a pain in the ass for changing though it's canted upward at a
45 degree angle and oil leaks everywhere when you unscrew it. If they have
a remote option it would be worth considering.

Does it help to puncture the filter with a screwdriver and drain it
before you unscrew it? I have to puncture the filter top and bottom on
the soob to drain it and lessen the mess.

Thanks John I tried that once but I guess I didn't wait long enough. Next
time I'll punch the hole then go for a coffee.

As of last summer Al still hdn't tried out his NO setup. I don't know how
he resists just pushing the button once.
