Bud,

A car wash high pressure sprayer is a good way to blow out the lines and I
made a tool to take that accusump apart you can use.

There is no good way to flush them while assembled. I like brake cleaner for
a final flush as it leaves no residue where mineral spirits will.

Subject: [Fot] Cleaining oil lines, and Spitfire Oil pump specs Questions

Listerati,

Some Spitfire 1300 engine re-assembly questions.

1) What to use to clean out oil lines, connections, and accusump after
having an engine disintegrate and create lots of metal particles that may or
may not have migrated throughout the oil system. I'm considering mineral
spirits as a final cleaning. They have been gravity draining for a couple
weeks hanging upside down.  I also have a new oil cooler since that was
probably beyond cleaning effectively.

2) Procedure to clean the accusump. While it is out and not pressurized.
Just rinse it with mineral spirits?

3) Oil pump clearance specs on Spitfire (angled late 1500 version), now at
0.004" on all four lobes.

Thanks

After grenade'ing my second or third 1147 I stopped re-using the oil lines. I=
 use re-usable Aeroquip fittings, so I took those off, pulled new line off o=
f the spool, and made new ones. Probably overkill, but it got to be a habit.=
 And it's not like it's the size/cost of Big Block V8 hoses.=20

The first time it happened with the Accusump in, the Accusump was rinsed out=
, flushed then filled with clean (but not synthetic) oil, set outlet down fo=
r a few hours, then emptied in that position. After that it got a screen fil=
ter as a Just In Case, even though there shouldn't  have been a way for cont=
amination to get in.=20

After grenade'ing a few more 1147's, I gave up and sold the car. It went on t=
o have a somewhat chequered life among FoT after that.=20

But this weekend will mark my return to wrenching on Triumph engines with th=
e rolling into the garage of the GT6 Mk III and the prep for placement in my=
 TR6 of a new power plant currently waiting on a stand. This one without 0.2=

Speaking of Accusumps, if anyone needs an electric solenoid valve, reach out=

Bub, if this happened to me (which it did) and I suspected there was metal
in the oil, I would remove the accumulator and send it to the factory for
refurbishment (about $80 including new seals).  Even if I had a custom tool
to remove the large circlips at each end, the cost of just a seal kit is
not much less than having the factory do a professional rebuild.   You will
likely have to replace the seals as a precautionary measure anyhow since
they have been cut.   They (Moroso for me) will also run a pressure test on
the gauge and valve assembly.  Other manufacturers should have the same
service.

Been there, done that. Yep, tossed the cooler and bought a new one.

The braided lines, and other sundry connections, I just took to a =

them.

The Accusump, I completely disassembled (both ends) and tossed the =
smaller bits into a basic parts cleaner. The big tube =96 and that=92s =
all it is fully disassembled, big enough to reach into -- I just sprayed =
some Brakleen in and wiped it out.

Couple days on the bench and it all air-dried. Worked fine.=20

Sorry, no number here on the clearance specs.

An accusump is not some marvel of modern engineering.   It is mearly a cylin=

clips if you have that type. =20
