You can't tell much from paint. My crankcase is black and my cylinders aregrey but the whole thing I rebuilt a little over 200 hours ago. If the painhas burned off, something has overheated.What kind of engine is it, and how much time does it have on it?Jack PhillipsNX899JP "icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC _____

Jack,As others have said, the cross brace contributes little strength in thatarea, as long as it is glued well to the floorbard and firewall plywood.Just cut it to get it out of the way and give yourself room for the fittingand its mounting bolts.Good luck!Jack PhillipsNX899JP "Icarus Plummet"Raleigh, NC _____

I once owned a Cessna 150 with a Continental O-200 on which I had to have a major overhaul performed. It came back with a new paint job -- gold case and black cylinders. I don't know if it's common practice but I suspect it is. Don't believe the paint would burn off the case. Incidentally, it would have been better had the push rod tubes been painted white to reflect some of the heat from the cylinders. Chuck ----- Original Message -----

I guess what I meant was it reflects heat away from the pushrods and associated parts. William Wynne recommends coating the pushrod tubes with white paint -- I've forgotten why but he's the engine guru.----- Original Message -----

Okay, I get it. The reflecting you're referring to is AWAY from the pushrod tubes,not necessarily back at the cylinders (even though that's where some of itwill go). So, paint the pushrod tubes white IF you're using a Corvair.I know I've read about oil temperature issues with some Corvair installations,so probably every little bit should help. Never heard of this idea for Continentals,though. Like Ryan says, the configurations are different, with more clearanceon the Continentals.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
