posible hylomar error?
5 Attachment(s)
hi guys,
i have a problem and i need your help. today i assembled an engine and i put a light coat of hylomar on the housings as you can see at the pics. of course i used hylomar also at the irons grooves to hold the orings . the problem is that when i tighten the bolts some hylomar squized and found it way to the outside of the engine as you can see also at the pics. the grooves hae i verylitle amount of hylomar , just to hold the seals. the hylomar that you see at the pics is from the housings. i assumed that the same amount also squized at the inner side. is this enouth to make damage at the apex seals ? i turned the engine by hand and with a small mirror and a light i looked inside the exaust port and in the rear rotor there was a small blob of hylomar concetrated an the corner of the apex seal. it is the size of the waterdrop 2-3mm diameter. i do not know for the front rotor . i will check it tomorrow. is this enouth to make a problem? what should i do? leave it and fire the engine? yes the hylomar is a nasty thing .now i know better. can someon please advice? thanks , i apreciate your help! |
it's normal and nothing to worry about.

Karack thanks,
i have a few hours that searching the forum and i found bad and good things abbout hylomar .the think that scared me is that the hylomar stays like a sticky gel and it is build to withstand presures and temperatures in jet engines. so i assume none wants a stuf like this in a delicate area like the apex seals. thanks i wish it will burn of finaly |
hylomar will not damage it. it is melted away with heat. I use aviation high tack and the same thing as soon as it gets heat it melts/burns away no harm can be done.
