• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have 1 exhaust port that keeps blowing gaskets. I messed up the port further while trying to "clean it up". In anycase, I will be fixing the mess by renting a exhaust port grinder.

Question: With 200 hrs since the engine was dismantled and rebuilt (not an overhaul, and nothing done to the cylinders) 1000hrs TSN, and no leaks from the other cylinders (5 gaskets in 100hrs with this one cylinder) - would I be wise to grind/dress all exhaust ports, or only the know problem?

Thanks,
