Aero Engine Fest

I recently had the chance to tour the Museum of Flight at Boeing Field in Seattle (on a business trip to Boeing) as we only had an hour or so (next time I plan at LEAST 1/2 day) I made a beeline for the WWII display; and I was not disappointed best of all, along with most of the aircraft they had th...

$cary

yup I seen that one on eBay (my friend who scored the Mondial sent me the link) I had to chuckle at that one- needs 'only' engine re-assembled I guess we can just re-use all the old parts, huh one has to wonder why it was taken apart in the first place? I seem to remember that car the last time it e...

A Whale of a Tale

as an Italian (OK 1/2 Itatalian, but my better half just ask my Mom) I take great umbrage to the contention that the lubrication used on the 400i Window Gearbox was substandard simply because of it's Italian origin Sperm Whale Oil indeed! I have it on great authority that per Enzo's personal edict o...

V12 Aircraft Engine

I also am a BIG fan of Aero Engines with a bias towards (not surprisingly) the V12 I try to make it a point to visit the local Air Museums when I am in a given area (I try to bring my Dad, too, as he flew in WWII) I am a BIG fan of the V12 Merlin Engine - what with 4 valves per cylinder and Fuel inj...

chilly

'chills' as used in investment casting are used in sections where the wax is too thick to solidify readily I was not aware that chills could also be made of (the same) metal and placed in the mold and then cast around to allow more even solidification very interesting as for the use of chills in the...

'Web' on castinq

as I work in a Casting House I thought I would chime in here the 'webs' on the Casting I believe are from Seams left in the mold when it is assembled that is, typically a mold is made from several smaller pieces so that they are easier to make and can be removed from the pattern more easily, etc the...

GTC/4

in response to Tom's query: I was under the impression that the 'C' in GTC/4 meant Coupe the first use of this moniker being the 330 GTC to differentiate it from the 275 GTB / GTS series which were rather different than the GTC (it being the first (of many) G rand T ouring C oupes) this observation ...
