os 50 strip down

[speedy jon]

took my exhaust off today because a engine mount bolt had come loose, when looking through the exhaust port i could see the top of the piston didnt look to smart so i took the engine out. found the clutch had broken(dont know how long its been like that but it was flying ok yesturday) and removed the head to find the top of the piston mashed, play in the crank, bottom of the crank case scored by the conrod and the liner scored.

is there any guides to taking a os 50 apart?
i cant get the fan off but i dont want to force it too much as its plastic.

It was flying fine, but

The clutch was fooked,
Piston nackered,
Play in the crank
Scored liner
Scored conrod?!

Pull the other one, that must have sounded like a bag of nails.

My OS 50 Hyper Max article might help?

well it was flyin alright,
it has always been loud but i always thought it was the exhaust that was on it and no one in the club has said to me it sounds *******. well that teaches me for buying a second hand heli. once iv got my new trex 600 flying and sort this engine out on my rappy ill pass it on.

[speedy jon]

[sacko]

Quite a lot of damage there tbh. Would have thought you should be looking a new one?

Yeah i agree with Paul..

Seems like a lot of damage done, it maybe worthwhile just getting a new one, and keeping the busted one for spares, and learning on.. (To disasemble and re-assemble)

Time for a new engine, it'll cost less than the spares to repair the old one.
