<BR><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=-1><B>Subject:</B> Re: 3M Mintor 170
questions</FONT></FONT> <BR> </DIV><FONT size=-1> I
talked with Michael Rudinsky from Boca Bearing while in Toledo. He did
measure the bearings in my 3M 170 engine. The frt. bearing is the same
as the frt. bearing for the O.S. 140 RX. Michael told me the rear
bearing is a standard size, but they do not stock it. Michael told me
that he would order some and call me when they came in. I have not
heard from him yet. I will call him tomorrow and let the discussion
page know what he came up with. In Toledo he also told me he would be
able to offer the bearing in the ceramic version for those that are
interested.</FONT> <FONT size=-1> On the installation
of the 3M 170 engine question. I installed my engine on a Hyde ARI (A)
mount for an O.S. 140 RX. It was a direct bolt in deal. The
exhaust clears the mount with now problem. The 3M engines use an
o-ring manifold that the header attaches to, just like the O.S. You
can use an O.S., Harori, or 3M header on the 3M manifold, and will all clear
the Hyde mount. The only difference between the 170 and the O.S. 140
dimensionally, is the 170s cylinder is slightly taller and larger in
diameter, otherwise it is all the same i.e. exhaust location, throttle hook
up, and fuel line hook up. The needle valve is slightly higher on the
O.S. than the 170, but on the 170 you can change the mounting angle of the
needle valve if needed to line up with an existing hole in your fuse if
swapping from a O.S. 140.</FONT> <FONT size=-1>Hope this answers your
question,</FONT> <FONT size=-1>Mike Darr</FONT>

. Mike Darr had his 3M 170 at the Toledo show, the Boca person at the
show measured the bearings so they could offer replacements. I would call
Boca to see if they are available or when they may be available.

<FONT face=Arial><FONT size=-1>For those in the know regarding the 3M
170::</FONT></FONT> <FONT face=Arial><FONT size=-1>1: I
notice the rear bearing is a double back ball bearing, I do not know
what this truly means, but will Boca or the US based 3M retailers
have the replacement bearings available? Any other substitutes? Don't
want to be needing a bearing in the middle of the season and be waiting
for a bearing from Italy!</FONT></FONT> <FONT face=Arial><FONT
size=-1>2. Same question as above but regarding rings? Do the retailers
like BuyRC, PlanesPlus, AeroSlave, etc, have replacements in stock, or
plans to? Again, I do not want to be without use of an engine
waiting on a ring or bearing from Italy!</FONT></FONT> <FONT
face=Arial><FONT size=-1>3. Will the 170 be a drop in replacement for
the OS 140? I have heard the bolt patterns are the same, but what about
the position of the nose ring, exhaust,etc? Completely interchangeable
with no refitting needed?</FONT></FONT> <FONT
