That radial airplane engine is a Jacobs. Those are the same Jakes on the T-50 in my avatar. Seven cylinders, and actually 755 C.I. What a waste of an otherwise COOL engine. Thanks for the pics, Tom.

And keep a close eye on those adapter bolts. Many times, once those things get loose enough to move-around and make noise like you had, there is already some damage done......hopefully NOT! DD
