In fact, that cylinder had back luck twice. Despite of the misalignment between exhaust port and flange being almost 5mm, the PO bored it to 60.55mm, causing a freshly rebuilt engine clattering on center cylinder.
Anybody seen this before?

Scully, I figured it would be worth looking up: "Maximum thrust: max at sea level: 115,300 lbf (514 kN) ; world record set at 127,900 lbf (568,9 kN) 827 feet above sea level" 64 tons is a lotta thrust. |
