I did the 18 months in school - only to graduate in the mid 80’s when the airline market crashed. Mechanics with years of experience were forced to go GA. There was no hope for us newbies. So I went and wrenched cars. Sucked after spending thousands for school and the rest. Not much use knowing the baseball stitch. At least I could use my new tools. I had a huge advantage on the old line car guys in that the electronics didn’t scare me like so many beginning in 1984.

Interesting! What you're calling a "differential compression check" is what the automotive world calls a "leak-down test". For car folks, a compression test uses the starter to crank the engine over, and the pressure in the cylinder is measured. The leak-down is often a next step if the compression numbers come out low.

The Leak down test always makes everyone so nervous. If the numbers are too low its such a bummer! When I worked as a A&P I had several large bore engines that failed the leak down test by blowing passed the rings. The engines would make rated power, run well, and the oil burn was within limits. The owners would get so pissed when this happened. And I could see why.. Aviation can/ is so expensive. I'm a C172 owner with a very high time engine. It doesn't leak and runs good but a big expense is coming soon. Wishing all the best for Jordan.

This brings back memories of my first corporate flying job in 1969. Our company had an "I" model 310 and 411. I had an A&P license although I was working as a pilot. I got to help a little on maintenance but because I was the "new guy," most of my labor was cleaning and waxing. I didn't mind because I was thrilled to be flying. That A&P training was very useful for understanding new systems and analyzing any problems during 31 years of corporate flying. Our local community college has an A&P school that feeds a large AMR maintenance base here in RFD. These are good jobs in high demand.

Dan Millican's mechanic explained to me, in the comments section, the difference between an automotive leakdown tester and the aviation compression tester. Interesting, no doubt! I've forgotten the details on the aviation side of things - is the 2nd gauge reading cylinder pressure in PSI, and that is considered PSI compression of that cylinder? With the automotive leakdown tester I have, one gauge reads line pressure like the aviation compression tester, but the 2nd gauge is in percent leak down, from 0%-100%. It seems the aviation compression tester is exactly the same except for the scale of the 2nd gauge. I'm thinking if I put a PSI gauge in place of the percentage gauge, it would now function like an aviation compression tester if I understand it correctly. Mine has an adjustable regulator on it so you can zero the 2nd percentage gauge out, since input pressure varies depending on what you have your air compressor set at. I'm guessing that the aviation side of things specifies an exact pressure the test is to be run at. I like the aviation tester, because one tool functions as both a compression AND a leakdown tester. That's a great way of doing it! The automotive compression tester is just a cheap gauge, and compression readings will vary depending on if you forgot to crank the throttle wide open, and how many revolutions the engine makes before you call it "good", and stop cranking. Anyway, you win, Juan! I'll never complain about a spark plug change on a Hemi-powered Ram pickup ever again! 🤣 Great vid man! THANKS!!

Exhaust valve leakage never gets better over time, only worse, unless it is a carbon deposit on the seat. You may want to check the valve rotator cap to ensure it is working. Savvy Aviation just put out a video in the past week or so on lapping in place which also shows how to check for valve rotation. I sure hope you don't have to replace an exhaust gasket. Cessna didn't do us mechanics any favors with these early 310's. You can't drop the exhaust manifolds unless you lift the engine up off of its mounts. The studs are too long and the nacelle ribs are too close. Getting the engine mount bolts out isn't too bad, but getting them threaded back in and bending the locking tabs on those bolts will have you reciting salty language. I've had to do cylinder work on mine and have the scars to prove it. Best of luck, these early tuna tank 310's are a blast to fly.

I am also proud I soloed after the minimum permitted 4 hours (that includes taxi time back to the runway after dropping off the instructor...lol. Congrats, your channel has come a long way. Keep up the great work!

That was so cool Juan. Well done for bringing Jordan into the show - I hope she didn't mind? I've always wondered why aeroplane engines are so prone to developing serious faults when the engine in my car (as it happens a Land Rover LR3 Discovery) that is sixteen years old with only 91,000 miles on the clock. Basically it never gets looked at and only rarely does it get given a sip of oil. And aeroplane engines are, generally speaking, massively under powered. I think I've said before, the 310 is one of my all time favourite aeroplanes and I can't believe it was a current design in 1959! I was thirteen! Looking forward to the rest of the maintenance.

All of the reciprocating a/c engines today are 1950's air cooled technology. There are damn few better ones, but this is what the industry has been churning out for decades.

the difference is in how they operate. your landrover engine is lightly stressed and rarely if ever in many cases operates at or near full load. Whereas aviation engines spend most of their time under high loading making max hp. In one takeoff an aircraft engine is at wide open and maximum power/load longer than most cars in a lifetime. When was the last time you had your landrover loaded down to where you had to hold 3/4 throttle or more to maintain speed? and how long do you think cars would last like that? I'm a AP/IA and also dable in race cars and boats for friends and had a guy want a motor for his 27 ft Avanti speedboat. I gave him a great price since I was slow but apparently one of his friends thought I was I was ripping him off because summit racing sold a big block for half the price with a little more power. So he went there and I didn't care until he started bad mouthing me.... Anyway come spring he launched the boat and by the second week it's smoking and soon after spun a bearing. When he sent it back summit refused warranty because of marine use😂 and he learned why my price was so high.

Fantastic video JB! As an old (and possibly slightly jaded) engineer I must say it's nice to see a young person who so obviously is learning well and applying their skills so competently. Without good spanner twirlers, aviation is missing a major link in the chain and us old soaks need to impart our knowledge to the next generation as well as all of the new information and technology available from modern education so that these technicians and engineers can grow and improve on what we know. Also, isn't Harvey such an absolute charmer? What a cracking old bird!

I’ve always thought of that as a cylinder leak down test which will tell a greater story than a cranking psi indication. Nice to see a well-guided procedure.
@GNX157
2 жыл бұрын
That’s all this is is a cylinder leak down test. The worth of it is increased when the test is done from day one of a new engine, and the leak percentage is monitored over the life of the engine. Really helps when diagnosing a drag race car when the et or mph seems off before you start chasing the tune or chassis.

Love your 1959 C-310. I have many hours in those as we had them in the Army Reserve program. U-3A (1959) and the U-3B (1960). Loved the cowling on the 1959 as to leaning the fuel flow at night, you could see the exhaust stacks turn a bright cherry red when too lean and then you just backed off till they turned a little darker. We had no auto pilot so all was hand flown all the time. Once flew from TEB down to FTW and on to ELP and LAX area. 4 day trip. Left it in an IRAN program in CA. These were all AF hand-me-downs to the Army. Go figure, we gave the AF all our Caribous in 1968. Not an even trade!

Juan, here is some really good information on Continental Compression Checks. Look up Continental Service Bulletin M84-15 . Also the Cessna Owner Organization has good information on Cylinder Checks . You will find that there is new good information and that 60/80 is not the way Continental wants it accomplished . I put in the links earlier but it kicked them off .

So, Mr Brown, you own that? Wow, sweet, and I have no doubt it lives in a hangar. Once in my 20s, I visited a private hangar and a guy had a beautiful C182. I was so jealous, but I was told the owner was an AA pilot. I thought, oh well that explains it. I thought if I could become a pilot with a major, someday something like that would be affordable for me. Well, I retired from a major with 27 years, but the money was great only for the last handful of them. So I am flying X-Plane 11 and watching KZitem videos of others, living vicariously. Awesome ride there, sir.

As the work places are overwhelmed by people working at home in their jammies, the broad spectrum of trades is suffering a steep decline in workers who think that getting dirty hands is beneath their entitled selves. A great deal of the housing shortage is caused by people, ignoring the wage points out there, who prefer to work with a laptop instead of a saw. Same with autos - the mechanics who actually fixed them have turned into fancy-uniformed technicians who only know how to take out a unit and replace it with a new one. Actual tear down and repair is gone with the good ol' boys in dirty jeans.

Juan, I did my A&P School at City College of San Francisco. 2 1/2 years. Normally it would take 2 years with the 8 courses, but my first and last semesters, I only took one course. Took my Oral and Practical, then my Written. You can take the O&P before written if you go to a school. I had my instructors give my O&P they were DME's also. When you take Written test, the first license you take, you will need to do 2 test, the General and either Airframe or powerplant. On the oral for first test, you will have to do a Weight and balance problem. Then after you get those written passed you can take the other one. Still have my A&P but not in the aviation area anymore.
