I wonder if the inverted engine position leads to crankpin and rod end wear..then normal upright position would lead to balljoint wear. (Balljoint gets loose more because of the cap opening up than by wear IMHO).
The castor will not accumulate in the crankcase by gravity in my opinion. The high velocity crank and rod are kicking the fuel air mixture around. Hot surfaces cause the methanol and nitro to partly evaporate and leave higher castor concentration on surfaces but I do not think gravity will have a say in where castor goes in the crankcase. Sorry for theorizing on it...a heavy 6x3 prop, or low castor % in total oil % may wear the crankpin connection sooner than castor starvation, if any, due to inverted position.

Long story short David, I would leave the engine in whatever position that fits the cowling and the scale looks of your Tiger Moth..looking forward to seeing the restoration project unfold!

Hey Dave how did you press-fit the conrod large end? Any special tool for that?

Thank you Dave for the explanation. Do you have a good photo about the conrod after the bushing has been press fit?

I have a TeeDee51 with many hours of run (~300) on its clock, but the big end of the rod still sits on the crankpin with good fit. The engine as a whole still runs strong with some blow-by in the cylinder already noticeable though, but its extent above 20k rpm should not be impacting the engine power that much.

I think that with normal use it is the piston to cylinder fit that will go loose the soonest  and force the engine to retire. The death of a  well maintained ball socket and the crankpin fit would come later.

Anyway your bushing is a unique solution in a 049 size COX piston. I hope the oversize hole in your conrod big end drilled to accommodate the bushing has not weakened it too much and it will last when the engine runs at its peak..

Well after the last repair this model never ceases to amaze how durable it is, it accumulates flies after flies without flinching, almost indestructible. I made a video with my drone but it's difficult to transfer it from one device to another plus I think I'll have to shorten it The video is good but I would like to see it more closely.From the sky, it's good, I like the different angle of view But I can't fly both at the same time so the drone stays fixed With the plane I have to fly like in a box to stay in the angle of the camera
I hope to be able to upload it soon RC Plane Popcorn Flying RC Plane Airplane cheers
