John Schwaner explains the piston aircraft engine from an engineering approach, but directed towards the operator and repair personnel
Sky Ranch Engineering Manual is the best and most thorough manual we've found covering the inspection and maintenance of the Lycoming and Continental engine, including a very comprehensive troubleshooting guide. Why things go bad, how to repair them, and most important; how to keep them from failing in the first place. Somewhat technical.
Includes:
- * Diagnosing engine failures
- * engine operation
- * how metal fatigue affects engine life
- * torsional engine vibrations and engine balance
- * flow porting and its effect on engine performance
- * lubrication and wear in your engine
- * an engineering approach to cylinder repair
- * and more
