This layup surface really is nice and as you can see. Pristine and on the other side it is also pristine as it has the 1/8 inch cardboard Mike a.k.a. dust

Re: (Landoll) harmonic damper fluid
Bill Allen
After much research I found; Which is the spec of a “super high viscosity fluid” which meets Federal standard VV-D-1078 “silicone as damping fluid”. I conclude that this is the correct fluid to use and have shared it with Vince at flyboy accessories. Bill

Re: Landoll harmonic balancer
Found this. Again, getting the exact fluid would be difficult but I don't know how much of a difference it would be if you didn't have the correct silicone fluid. Just make sure it's on the viscous side of the equation.

Hi James, - do you know what the “fluid media” is that the Landoll dampener uses? The folk at flyboyaccessories say that determining the specs for this was the only thing preventing them from making a batch….

I have been using NGK BKR9EIX Amazon.com: NGK (2669) BKR9EIX Iridium IX Spark Plug, Pack of 1, One Size : Automotive my IO-360 C1E6 angle valve.
They used to be $6 but now $11, they never wear out. I do replace them 100 hrs just because I found the adaptors freeze up if you leave them in too long and I get new ones because you can’t replace the gaskets. Del Schier Cozy IV N197DL Cannon Creek Airpark 15FL

Re: Landoll harmonic balancer
Bill Allen
Yes, I’d heard that too - I also heard that “lead shot” is used…. But the guys at “flyboyaccessories” need to have an exact spec of whatever media is used so that they can complete the assembly and offer it with confidence. I don't suppose if a person has one of these, that they’ve taken it apart to see what’s inside…. Bill

Re: Landoll harmonic balancer
It's usually a silicone fluid. It needs to be viscous and able to handle heat absorption.

Re: Landoll harmonic balancer
berkut13
“Balancer” is the wrong term for this unit. It is a “Dampener”. Its purpose is to dampen harmonic vibrations, not balance a rotating mass.

Re: BR8ES Plugs with electronic ignition/O-320
aviationeyes
Hi Tim, My engine type was referenced in the subject line! You are right, about the screw terminals and happily I have the solid top. Based on your comments and others', I'll give them a try. I just have to wonder how a $10 dollar spark plug (e.g., the W24 EMR-C) can be so much better than these $2 types. --Jose

Re: BR8ES Plugs with electronic ignition/O-320

You dont say what engine you have, but that plug is probably the most popular in the experimental community for 0-320/360 Lycoming The BR8ES comes in 2 part numbers, solid top and screw on. You want to solid too ones, the screw on terminals can be used but have caused problems if they come loose.

BR8ES Plugs with electronic ignition/O-320
aviationeyes
I've been using the same W24 EMR-C for the last 3-4 years (~150hrs) and other than a little cleaning at condition inspections, they have given me reliable engine operation. I probably don't need to change them even now, but their outsides are getting ugly with surface rust. Someone recently gave me a new pack of NGK BR8ES plugs. These are standard (i.e., no exotic metal tip electrodes) plugs otherwise having the same threads/heat range/reach as the W24 plugs. Does anyone see any problems or have any reports with using them? --Jose

Re: Landfill harmonic balancer
Nick U
I recently installed a balance ring system from Balance Masters to test out. http://www.balancemasters.com
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
I can report that the balance ring system by this company DOES NOT WORK. For reference I used my Aces Electronic Balancer to test vibration out both before and after installation. Unbalanced (no weights on flywheel) the Aces indicated .03”/sec balance. When the balance ring was installed the best it would give me is .17”/sec balance at 2100 and 2200 rpm. I then took the ring off and balanced the engine/prop to around .02”/sec at 2200 rpm.. After reinstallation of the ring and the balance went up to .19”/sec which was quite a surprise. The ring never reduced the inbalance to anything close to what I was able to achieve to with the electronic balancer at 2200 rpm even after running the engine for longer than the specified 2 minutes at a steady rpm. I did notice a possible reduction of vibration at cruise rpm, but it is only a seat of the pants estimate. It felt a bit different, but not $400 worth of difference in my book. I returned the balance ring, rebalanced the engine/prop with the Aces, down to .01”/sec and saved myself some $$. I am not saying that a competitive or different type of balance system would not work, but in this case with this product, it did not. Nick Ugolini .
