John Zissa Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I am looking at the possibility of using an EA71 as an engine for my ultralight. Can anyone tell me where the thrust bearing is located on the crank and whether it takes thrust in both directions or just one. If one, which way. To mount a prop adapter, I need to know which direction the engine crank can accept thrust. I can make an adapter for either end. Thanks for any help anyone can give.

GLCraig Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 If I remember right the thrust bearing is intergrated into the center main bearing and can accept thrust in both directions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the answer I was hoping for. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 looking at my FSM it shows the thrust bearing is integrated into the center main bearing. This is exactly what is out on one of my EA71s.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
