just like a diesel, excessive oil in the intake can be bad turbo seals(if the 310 is turbocharged). Thats your problem as it's in the intake and on every plug. Not a ring issue.
I was actually a little surprised you started with the 310. The Aztec seemed closer to being airworthy (still might be - lol) and has way more useful load capacity. You could fit the wbole family and throw Grisly in the cargo hold and be off. Plus, I have to believe you can get more for a flying airplane than a disassembled one. Oh well. But we're committed to saving the 310 now so... Love the videos. Keep doin the Lord's work. Oh, and... Stop buying broken airplanes for a while, eh?
Not committed to anything. Throwing good money at bad just to keep viewers happy it foolhardy. Any viewer who thinks the 310 should still be saved isn’t paying attention. Sometimes you just have to call the ball.
I'll bet that because of the long time not running or being turned over that the oil wiper ring (bottom ring) is stuck and while the top ring would provide compression, the bottom ring wouldn't do its' job and keep oil out of the intake cycle. Because of theis, I think that you will need to pull the cyl and replace the ring set on all of the pistons. I think that the pistons are savable but the rings need to be replaced.
Make sure you appreciate that Geronimo. It is truly an underrated plane. I think you will grow to like it more and more so watch out, it will sneak up on you....and with those 180's, true single engine safety.
You made it Jim...Juan Browne had mentioned you and your save the 310.... you are now considered a " influencer".. good morning sir...love your content.
@@therealjimmysworld I swear I saw a twinkle in Juans eye when he mentioned your name on his "310" vid... He's cast the line with the appropriate bait. 😊
The other one is not known for being exactly safe, especially with one engine gone. The old saying was if you have an engine out, the other one will take you all the way to the crash site
@@iflyrcmikeRegarding single engine operation, I would rather be in a PA-23 Aztec (with 250hp IO-540s) than in a PA-23 Apache (with IO-320s or 360s). Considering general performance, Aztecs are better than Senecas as well, IMO.
Hey Jimmy! Small pointer. If you have an engine problem with runway remaining you are going to go from having a bad cylinder to it causing you to gear up. Wait a few moments longer before sucking the gear up on these light twins. I say a few moments for a reason. Much longer obviously and you're hurting 2nd segment climb. But give it a solid 50' of climb before pulling them up. It is the most critical and likely time to have an engine abnormality.
Kinda always liked the Aztek better myself, but I get why you chose the 310. I gotta say it looked so solid in that hanger Im surprised it turned out to be such a turd! Keep polishing and looking forward to how you plan to save it!
The oil was clear when you found it originally now it's black...... Kind of indicates exhaust in the crankcase.... Not just valves ..... the oil in the intake indicates bad intake valves not sealing...
the aztec was the reasonable plane to work on and not the other ones. I've told you . the 310 was a bad idea from the beginning but I will keep supporting you . You better finish a project please!!!!
Also, could put compression tester attached to air compressor and blow air into the chamber set on top dead center (ie both valves closed). Listen to see where air is escaping (if not escaping at all you've got great compression). If coming out intake manifold ie carburetor, then bad intake valve. If coming out exhaust, then bad exhaust valve. If coming out in oil pan, then bad rings (or hole in piston🤣). If good compression, start and run. If blowing oil out exhaust, then oil rings shot. Pull jugs and look at rings. Just use your hot rod knowledge of engines to diagnose. If u don't have that knowledge, ask a hot rodder or real good auto mechanic to diagnose the problem. Then you can take appropriate steps with AP. But it's just an engine. Not made of glass. Tear apart what u need to to see what's wrong b4 you spend a ton of money and time u don't have on an A&P to diagnose. If u tear apart and u diagnose problem and can be fixed economically, take parts to AP and let him put back together with his stamp. Save the money for diagnosing and tear down by doing it yourself. That's half the alure of your channel. Figuring how to get people into aviation affordably (that's an oxymoron-- affordable aviation🤣).
Also, just happened to think one other possible way for oil to get into combustion chamber if an airplane engine has valve guides (I assume they do) and oil in the area above valves (on a car would be under your valve covers). If your valves guides get worn, oil will run down the worn space between valve stem and valve guide. On a car it will cause them to really smoke when first start them up cuz burning all oil that ran down into combustion chamber over nite. Soon as oil is burned will stop smoking. But if valve guides really worn, engine will use quite a bit of oil and will have all the usual symptoms of oil burning engine--fouled plugs, oily plugs, etc.
Once flew in a Fairchild NQL Trainer. Fairchilds T6 trainer version, only with a one piece canopy. The Owner Don Pellegrino took me up and we flew around our neighborhood. Talk about a hoot. We buzzed the next private airport north of us.
Rings gum up when engines sit.. fill the cylinders and the crank case to the top with mystery oil and let it sit for a week… saved a piper that sat for like 30 years with that method.. plane still runs today had similar oil issue
I'm thinking that all that oil on the plugs and in the intake manifolds could very well be due to 37-year deteriorated valve stem seals, and not from stuck or broken oil control rings. The valve seals should be replaceable fairly easily and are relatively cheap from Aircraft Spruce (in airplane money). Might be worth a try.
That's exactly what I was thinking. Oil passing the rings and then making it's way past the intake valve would be a much greater issue. The oil is coming from some upstream source. Not sure about aircraft engines but do they have a crankcase ventilation valve?
You know Jimmy, I've always had a passion in aviation, but you really sparked my passion for old planes and fixing them up. My goal is to find an old warbird, restore it, and fly it :)
@@Donity way back in the 60’s when I was in high school, I helped a couple of vets restore a for real WWII T-6. It was all original. We took everything off right down to the frame, replaced all the rigging, reskinned the whole airframe, rewired it, rebuilt the engine It was such a cool airplane.
Happy Father's day Jimmy! I gotta wonder at what point saving the 310 becomes a pyrrhic victory. Too great a cost. Maybe punt and save the Aztec instead.
As this mornings video opens, we see Grizzly struggling to find his feet in the swirling miasma of distorted time and space that suddenly makes you aware that you are entering JIMMY’s WORLD! This is a universe best enjoyed with a Hersey bar and a Mountain Dew. Can I get a clear…..!
Hey Jimmy, your videos have inspired me. They have inspired me to go to the corner store and buy a bottle of Mountain Due which I don't remember having since I was a kid. Man, that stuff is powerful good.
Do a comparison test i am thinking someone put oil in the cycenders to protect them its not good but i think if its in all the cycenders that's the only way it could be there. Clean it up and do a comparison test.
@@johnnunn8688 this is a gess but I have never seen a engine with all the cycenders bad much less all of them on the same aircraft. It's just not normal. Your talking 12 cycenders on 2 deferant engines its just not right its is possible but no probable. I would clean it up and do a comparison test before I pulled it apart. Just to possible save time and money.
Thanks for another great video Jimmy. It was interesting and enjoyable. First of all I am a bit confused on what airplane is which. The train of thought has been save the 310. Now you are talking about another airplane that could replace it. Too many airplanes in your group of flying machines. Not trying to say ya or na, but from what I saw today, believe the cost overruns on the 310 makes it a not so good deal. Might be time to say goodbye to the 310??? The twin engine you have been flying, why not use it????? Seems to be running great??? Just saying looking at the money end of things. Sometimes we have to backup and regroup liking it or not. Thanks to Silas for excellent filming and checking the airplane over before flight. Nice work young man. Well Jimmy not trying to push things to you from my perspective but money is money and you should re-evaluate your position with your inventory of airplanes. Will be quiet now and get out of your way. You take care and be safe. Looking forward to the next video. Thanks for everything. You take care of yourself. Retired Air Force veteran.
Hey Jimmy, love the work you’re doing and the amazing content you produce. Looking forward to seeing the 310 finished. If I’m ever in your area, I’d love to meet you someday
Dramatize, some oil in the cylinder, over and over again. Redundent content. Please fix and fly makes better content?..parts chasing flight, great content. Dramatizing the watching of goo coming from a spark plug, embarrasing!,,...blessings...m
Looking forward to plan B. I was looking to go to Oshkosh this year to see you and the 310, but really hard to find hotel rooms close by. My plan B is to go next year and bring my dad so we can enjoy the week. I hope your plan B is quicker than mine. I love your determination and willingness to save the 310!! Keep the faith and your vision. The end result is worth it. The charity work that you will do with the 310 is priceless. Happy Father's Day.
Awesome video, Jimmy. Crushed I didn't make the 1st 15 minutes afterwards in the comments. Wish I could bid on the Aztec, just not financially able to get it back here and put it together. Ah, well... somebody's going to get a nice one. Can't wait to see what gets pulled into the hangar next.
How many seconds of Sinatra's "My Way" can you play without incurring royalty obligations? Would be a nice fit in your opening sequence... "Mistakes? I've made a few..." "There were times, I guess you knew, that I bit off more than I could chew." And of course-- "I did it My-y-y-yyyy waaaaaaayyyyy!" Shoot, even as instrumental background sound it would be sooooo inspirational, and, sadly appropriate.
Hi...the gift that keeps on giving...I know you will get it done..nice to see you passed the certification and seeing you fly the twin engine..CAN WE GET A CLEAR PROP?
I positively love your videos. Grizzly is amazing I love the grunting that’s so funny 🤣 Isn’t possible that the oil rings may be stuck from sitting and not being run for 40 years. I’m certain y’all may have considered that possibility just wanted to put that out there .
Oil in the intake tube indicate failed valve stem oil seals. Most likely dried and no longer sealing. Oil is sucked into the intake tube. Remove and replace with new seals and your problem will be solved.
find out why the oil is getting into the intake. cylinders are probably ok..turbo's crankcase vent pcv.. if its in the intake its in the cylinders.. keep looking good work.
Two months.... Ah yes, welcome to the world of GA maintenance in 2022. My engine decided to get into the glitter manufacturing business so it's been sent off for disassembly, inspection, and probable overhaul. Every shop I got a quote from for the overhaul noted that they had no new cylinders, only overhauled cylinders. My mechanic said that Lycoming is a full year out on new cylinder orders. Seems like everybody's having their engines done. I'm fortunate in that I was able to get a set of new cylinders thanks to my mechanic. I definitely owe him a favor. Even so, I'm looking at probably two more months due to availability of other required parts before the engine's done and on its way back.
I was a Cessna mechanic. We used to have oil cooler leaks on the Cessna 310's. They would crack right around their mounting flange and bathe the engine with oil. We had a standing joke about engine oil leaks. Oh well, at least it will never RUST. 🤣🙃🤑
Might be worth calling up Baker aviation at KEVB (New Smyrna Beach Muni). I had a copper oil seal go bad on a 1954 Continental E225 and they had it. I didn't know what I was going to do. Asking around on mailing lists the Beechcraft boys found them for me. They were so good I was thinking of flying there for my annuals. Then I realized how much of a pain that would be. Very good people, very good service. This was also in July. Maybe they can do it quickly. Make sure you tell them that it was rebuilt and put away in a hanger for 41 years. That's a lot different than an engine that had been running and was put away outside for 40+ years. I think it's going to have to come apart so they can look at the journals. Could be perfect, could have rust. Only one way to know. If you deliver it to them in the back of a pickup it should be easy to do. Good luck. IMHO, if you ever go to start an engine like that again that has been sitting do what an old time mech (45+ years) that used to teach auto mech told me. Get yourself one of those oil squirt cans with a lever on the side. Fill it up with Rislone. Shoot about 5 shots into each cylinder. Rotate it by hand, then by starter. Put about 5 more shots in. Rotate it for a minute or two. Now you won't get a dry start and it should be good to go. You probably broke some rings. I hope the cylinder walls are ok.
Time to sell this plane as it is! There's no longer any point in pushing forward. Also, it doesn't even makes good and fun videos anymore only stupid ones. Sell it, lick the wounds and of to new exciting projects. I would like a video in peace and quiet about that Mig-plane, the coolest plane you ever have filmed. It would be informatived for you as the owner now to talk us thru everything there is to know. Greetings from Sweden!
Been watching since the first month of your channel. This UA-cam thing has exploded on you ( better than the 310 doing that.....maybe). There are more twists and turns on Jimmy's World than on a telenovela. This old Navy ARFF guy looks forward to each and every episode!!!
If it was a car and that was in the intake, to me that means it ain't coming from the cylinders it would have to be coming from the turbo or pcv or other crankcase breathing device to be coming down the intake Jimmy. Check the turbo if it has one could be oil seals there.
Man Jimmy sure wish I had deeper pockets as you know. I Have the Oldest lowest time Aztrk on the planet so close to Museum Quality as delivered in 1960 .
I just started watching the rebuilding of planes I'm 67 yrs old and know nothing about planes but could you swap the engines with the 310 and the othe 1 instead of selling it ?? I've swaped engines in many cars and trucks over the years
Glad you enjoy the videos! I wish it was that easy... There is a ton of paperwork and government bureaucracy that it would have to go through to be legal to fly...
I enjoy watching you take these plane and try to get them back in the air. My 2 year old daughter even enjoy watching “the plane show”. Definitely entertaining, I am always waiting to see what else crazy thing you come across. Keep up the great work.
Is there a STC to put IO540s on a Cessna 310... The 310 has to be the most common ramp rat you see ... Seems everyone buys them and let's them sit for some reason... Oh 14gph times 2 might be the issue.
@@therealjimmysworld humm seems that STC may be either dead or owned by Mike Jones Aircraft Sales, a Murfreesboro, Tenn. Just thinking a turbo 310 would be sweet since you have 2 good io540s... A friend has a 310 with the Colemill conversion but it's been sitting for 10 years in a hangar as he never got around to getting his license.
I think that the piston rings are bad and need replacement. I work on small horizontal engines and I have seen this time and time again. The rings are not to hard to replace. I hope this helps
Grizzly should start his own channel…..he can call it Surviving Jimmy’s World😀
Grizzly my kind of people I would enjoy workin on planes with him
That’s funny.
Yes
I agree🤣🤣 go the grizza
Where does he get his money 4 these planed
The last half of this video totally proves the Aztec would be a much better option to save. As I told you before # Save the Aztec!
just like a diesel, excessive oil in the intake can be bad turbo seals(if the 310 is turbocharged). Thats your problem as it's in the intake and on every plug. Not a ring issue.
This guy might be on to something that may work.
Yeah it still has to be pulling the oil from somewhere so it has to be coming from the cylinders rings so you still should check after the turbo too.
No turbos on this 310.
@@xtevexeairoux2637 it could be valve seals as well. Rings and valves are only place a NA engine can get oil into the top end
I was actually a little surprised you started with the 310. The Aztec seemed closer to being airworthy (still might be - lol) and has way more useful load capacity. You could fit the wbole family and throw Grisly in the cargo hold and be off. Plus, I have to believe you can get more for a flying airplane than a disassembled one. Oh well.

Hay Jimmy got. new t-shirt slogan for you... 'I love it when a Plane comes together'
Thanks!
Thanks for the update Jimmy! I have been watching Lycoming and Continental rebuild videos and see why it takes so long to rebuild these engines.
I'll bet that because of the long time not running or being turned over that the oil wiper ring (bottom ring) is stuck and while the top ring would provide compression, the bottom ring wouldn't do its' job and keep oil out of the intake cycle. Because of theis, I think that you will need to pull the cyl and replace the ring set on all of the pistons. I think that the pistons are savable but the rings need to be replaced.
When I was a kid I hung out with my father in his motorcycle shop. Great memories.
Your kids will have great memories of hanging out in the hanger.
Make sure you appreciate that Geronimo. It is truly an underrated plane. I think you will grow to like it more and more so watch out, it will sneak up on you....and with those 180's, true single engine safety.

The other one is not known for being exactly safe, especially with one engine gone. The old saying was if you have an engine out, the other one will take you all the way to the crash site

Hey Jimmy! Small pointer. If you have an engine problem with runway remaining you are going to go from having a bad cylinder to it causing you to gear up. Wait a few moments longer before sucking the gear up on these light twins. I say a few moments for a reason. Much longer obviously and you're hurting 2nd segment climb.

It's possible, however with everything else compounding, it's a tough one.
Like the Eyetalian tune up?
@@terrallputnam7979 yes like what vice grip does
Oil in the intake tube indicate failed valve stem oil seals. Most likely dried and no longer sealing. Oil is sucked into the intake tube. Remove and replace with new seals and your problem will be solved.
You really just need to junk that 310.
I absolutely love your passion for aviation but the 310 is a bit of a challenge my friend.

People ask God every day for a sign and always say he doesn't do anything, God has given you multiple signs about the 310 lol
Something about a grass strip… Got one in my town (40I) and it’s the home to a number of Cubs and Champs.
Non pilot question but, couldn't you use the good engines from that plane for the Aztec on the 310?
find out why the oil is getting into the intake. cylinders are probably ok..turbo's crankcase vent pcv.. if its in the intake its in the cylinders.. keep looking good work.
Two months.... Ah yes, welcome to the world of GA maintenance in 2022. My engine decided to get into the glitter manufacturing business so it's been sent off for disassembly, inspection, and probable overhaul. Every shop I got a quote from for the overhaul noted that they had no new cylinders, only overhauled cylinders. My mechanic said that Lycoming is a full year out on new cylinder orders. Seems like everybody's having their engines done. I'm fortunate in that I was able to get a set of new cylinders thanks to my mechanic. I definitely owe him a favor. Even so, I'm looking at probably two more months due to availability of other required parts before the engine's done and on its way back.
"glitter manufacturing business" that's good stuff! Aviation comedy gold!
The thing is that motor looks pristine. Monster blowby. One step forward two steps back.
MAX jimmy speed great work jimmy great video keep up the good work
I was a Cessna mechanic. We used to have oil cooler leaks on the Cessna 310's. They would crack right around their mounting flange and bathe the engine with oil. We had a standing joke about engine oil leaks. Oh well, at least it will never RUST. 🤣🙃🤑
Might be worth calling up Baker aviation at KEVB (New Smyrna Beach Muni). I had a copper oil seal go bad on a 1954 Continental E225 and they had it. I didn't know what I was going to do. Asking around on mailing lists the Beechcraft boys found them for me. They were so good I was thinking of flying there for my annuals. Then I realized how much of a pain that would be. Very good people, very good service. This was also in July. Maybe they can do it quickly. Make sure you tell them that it was rebuilt and put away in a hanger for 41 years. That's a lot different than an engine that had been running and was put away outside for 40+ years. I think it's going to have to come apart so they can look at the journals. Could be perfect, could have rust. Only one way to know. If you deliver it to them in the back of a pickup it should be easy to do. Good luck.
IMHO, if you ever go to start an engine like that again that has been sitting do what an old time mech (45+ years) that used to teach auto mech told me. Get yourself one of those oil squirt cans with a lever on the side. Fill it up with Rislone. Shoot about 5 shots into each cylinder. Rotate it by hand, then by starter. Put about 5 more shots in. Rotate it for a minute or two. Now you won't get a dry start and it should be good to go. You probably broke some rings. I hope the cylinder walls are ok.
I love your content. Hopefully you are not as stressed working on it as I am watching !!! LOL
hahaha, oh no... this thing has aged me 10 years already!! lol
Good morning Jimmy! Clear prop! Looking forward to the video today. Keep up the great work!👍🙂
Morning! Enjoy!
Is it a Pratt and Whitney 3350 on the A1 or AD airplane
Oooooo now I’m really wondering where the 310 saga goes….
stand by :) It's freakin epic!!
Time to sell this plane as it is! There's no longer any point in pushing forward. Also, it doesn't even makes good and fun videos anymore only stupid ones.
Sell it, lick the wounds and of to new exciting projects.
I would like a video in peace and quiet about that Mig-plane, the coolest plane you ever have filmed. It would be informatived for you as the owner now to talk us thru everything there is to know.
Greetings from Sweden!
A never ending story. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Been watching since the first month of your channel. This UA-cam thing has exploded on you ( better than the 310 doing that.....maybe). There are more twists and turns on Jimmy's World than on a telenovela.
This old Navy ARFF guy looks forward to each and every episode!!!
Love the show... i know nothing about airplanes.....and what i have learnt is from this show...
If it was a car and that was in the intake, to me that means it ain't coming from the cylinders it would have to be coming from the turbo or pcv or other crankcase breathing device to be coming down the intake Jimmy. Check the turbo if it has one could be oil seals there.
Harbor Freight will be having a special on large lawn mower crate engines next month. You'll just have to fly slower.
You play with OLD PLANES... you deal with Old Plane Problems!!! Hopefully you'd feel safe flying your family on those 310 engines after you fix them?
Jimmy: *lands plane*
Also Jimmy: *Congratulates self on nice landing* 😂
Jimmy gonna take the wings off, flatbed the 310 to Oshkosh and say tada it made it! be a good way to fundraise too
New or even overhauled cylinders seem to be unobtainium right now. I have been in aviation since 1990 and never seen anything like this before.
I enjoy watching your shows.
You are crazy about aircraft.
Love the older ones too.
Crazy.
Man Jimmy sure wish I had deeper pockets as you know. I Have the Oldest lowest time Aztrk on the planet so close to Museum Quality as delivered in 1960 .
I just started watching the rebuilding of planes I'm 67 yrs old and know nothing about planes but could you swap the engines with the 310 and the othe 1 instead of selling it ?? I've swaped engines in many cars and trucks over the years
Glad you enjoy the videos! I wish it was that easy... There is a ton of paperwork and government bureaucracy that it would have to go through to be legal to fly...
I enjoy watching you take these plane and try to get them back in the air. My 2 year old daughter even enjoy watching “the plane show”. Definitely entertaining, I am always waiting to see what else crazy thing you come across. Keep up the great work.
Hey Jimmy the movie ICE I see a 310 in there what happen to it ,looking it
Your Aztec really look amazing... So sad that paperwork is missing... :(
Jimmy, call Signature Engines in Ohio. Ask for John Buckles. Excellent shop and they may have what you need on the shelf.
Call it "Spuds McBacon" 😂🤣😜🤪🥳
Looks like Jimmy gets put some cylinder kits in !
I've seen enough for airplane revival videos to know that if you own an airplane you better have a great supply of KY jelly!
save the AZTEC with Jasons world Started from a donated AZTEC!!!!!! sounds like a winner!!!
Is there a STC to put IO540s on a Cessna 310... The 310 has to be the most common ramp rat you see ... Seems everyone buys them and let's them sit for some reason... Oh 14gph times 2 might be the issue.
There is... it's called a Riley Rocket :)
@@therealjimmysworld humm seems that STC may be either dead or owned by Mike Jones Aircraft Sales, a Murfreesboro, Tenn. Just thinking a turbo 310 would be sweet since you have 2 good io540s... A friend has a 310 with the Colemill conversion but it's been sitting for 10 years in a hangar as he never got around to getting his license.
Best UA-cam videos period.
“Not that one, the good ones” 🤣
Jimmy, I got $100 on the Aztec as is. You have a great channel man keep it up.
I think that the piston rings are bad and need replacement. I work on small horizontal engines and I have seen this time and time again. The rings are not to hard to replace. I hope this helps
