What did you do to your V11 today?

Some things are worth repeating. Nice, Dave!

ACF50, a new-to-me product. Seems brilliant. Thanks. I watched a video on application and this guy sings it's praises. I will bee trying this out soon.

Standard aircraft stuff for years..

Perhaps overkill in some cases, but good stuff.  Our aging v11’s may benefit from some use of it.  I use it on targeted areas where it’s clearly beneficial on lots of my older equipment.

I found a loose bolt and Docc put it back

found it best price at Aircraft Spruce but shipping nixed it for me. Amazingon Prime is 6buks less.

Aircraft spruce are shipping rip off artists. They'll ship for free with a $350 order, though. They wanted $140 to ship a piece of 1/32 X 48 X 48 plywood. I called them and said they could roll it and put it in a cardboard box. Only $46 for that 3 lb. box. What are you gonna do? They pretty much have a monopoly. Fortunately, I can get 4130 tubing in Indy. and ACS can kiss my.. oh never mind..

A little deeper dive in to ACF50 for those interested.

 

Several mentions of the benefit to electrical bits. One shot shows them filling connector plugs. Is this an alternative to DeOxit?

I have a constant fight with the moisture here in the mid west, trying to keep rust from etching into my ferrous tools. Would ACF-50 be a solution ?

I would think so.

I wouldn't think so. It's a corrosion inhibitor, not something that removes corrosion as far as I know.

The rewards of a bit of undying inquisitiveness.

Put on some Breva valve covers, I think it tidies up the spark plugs and leads. I stripped them and used a buffing wheel to brush the aluminium.

That paint was surprisingly stubborn!

So pretty. I prefer seeing the spark plug wires, but those look so good.

I think the real star of the show is those headers. Yowza!

Nice machine, Grim!
