Nice lil' engines Eric..I am wondering how its performance compares to a COX 049 TeeDee or similar, front rotary valve, peer engine, assuming the regular plug in the head impacts the performance the same way we see with COX aftermarket 049 heads for normal (not turbo) plugs..will the OK Cub head and Cox head interchange? If yes, any notable performance change with the COX head?

I read in an old Sceptre Flight report the OK Cub swings a 5' prop (what pitch, what fuel blend etc. are unknown) at 16....-17k rpm. which is not bad.

Eric,

Easy enough to  check, with a Cox 325 glow head.

I bought a few of the later Cub .049 glow head cylinders (some from Mark B. on this forum), and the Cox glow heads work great in them. Cox heads do not fit the OK glow plug cylinders, and the difference is very noticeable.

As I recall, there was no notice of this change in any of the OK publications. We first noticed one of the Cubs that a friend bought used, had a Cox glow head installed? I asked around, and someone mentioned that the Cub glow head cylinders were different than the Cub glow plug cylinders.

Do you have a Cub .049 cylinder clamp/wrench? Very handy tool, and I always use mine when removing heads or cylinders from Cub engines.

-About the same or less than a Babe Bee.
-Most of these used the red 5x3 Kaysun prop.
-These don't usually have the fit of a Cox, use a higher caster % if possible.
-These might be the later, larger dia. cylinder (c.1958) cylinder and will fit a Cox glowhead and will raise compression a little, works good.
Years ago i ran a 049A on a Baby Ringmaster, pulled it nice, 35' lines.

Hey! OhBee could you possibly scan and post those Cub instructions??

aKG, attached is a picture of how one of mine is “plumbed” from the tank to the inlet of the NV.   I do have another that has an aluminum tube force fit thru that hole the tube goes through, like the tank would be twisted 90deg so the hole/tube is at the bottom of the tank.

"Found this in a box of junk years ago..Never run but was stuck tight! All better now! Looks like it would be a trick to mount it to anything."

Disassemble the tank kit from engine, mount tank kit back plate to firewall and then reassemble engine and tank parts to back plate.

Just unscrew all 4 rank screws and look inside and it should be self-explanatory. You sort of "jigalate" the vinyl tube to pick up at bottom of tank or on the side for c/l use. You might need to play with that some.

The model with the aluminium tube on the left (looking at the engine from the front/prop) were originally designed to have the cylinder horizontal outboard, as they were installed on Comet aircraft. The aluminium tube just goes straight to the rear bottom corner of the tank when the engine is mounted horizontally. I haven't seen one with the fuel line forced through this side of the backplate before, but I have seen them with the fuel line pushed through a hole in the right (looking at the engine from the front/prop) side of the backplate and directed across the tank to the rear bottom corner while the cylinder is mounted vertically. These two engines need to have their spray bars inserted opposite ways to work.

Eric,

This link should take you to a page of pictures, and the one on the top left side, is exactly like my Cub tool. I didn't know it also fits the McCoy .049 diesel, and will check mine to see if that is true.

Very good thread on these Cub engines. Although I never had, nor used one of the cylinder removal tools for the Cub engines. I have used for many years a piece of leather belt that I have cut to the width of the cylinder to be removed. The length of the leather piece should be a few inches longer than the wrap around would be. I have a favorite pair of Craftsman pliers that has longer than normal handles, along with a wider opening at the back of the pliers. I put the engine in a vice and clamp on the beam mounting lugs, just enough to hold the engine and not any more. Put the piston at top dead center, wrap the leather around the cylinder, just below the the top of the last cooling ring. Using the center of the pliers and not the end of, apply heat with a heat gun or a few waves with a torch, to just heat the top of the crankcase where the cylinder screws into and not the cylinder. The cylinder, with a little effort will back out counter clockwise. The factory always has tightened the cylinder way more than I thought they should. As when I re-install the cylinder, I never make it nearly as tight, as when first time removal. Same procedure for the head removal, only use heat somewhat to the head, holding the cylinder with the leather and pliers, while using a good fitting wrench on the head, no pliers on the head at all. It to will come off counter clockwise with ease. I have used this cylinder and head removal procedure since sometime from the 1970's with no damage to the cylinder fins. Future cylinder removal of same engine should not need any heat as you will not need the tight fit as when it left the factory. The .049 engines with the glow head, uses a special tool that reaches into a slot on each side at the top of cylinder, just below the glow head, and with the same addition of some heat for the first time, the cylinder will unscrew the same way. Sorry to make this so lengthy as this is really rather a simple and easy way of the cylinder removal.

I don't know why cylinders have been so tightened in factory. I once used a ten inch wrench to remove cylinder. Oiled and heated the cylinder, but it was very tight. I bent a Cox wrench too.
