Yeah, which one is it, 1640 or 1820? IIRC a buddy of mine had those on his spray planes. The 1640s (600HP?) were Pratt Whitney and the 1820 (1200 HP?) was a Studebaker off a B17 bomber :anitoof:

FWIU yes, you may have to bend the baffles a little.

Does anybody know what this information is saying? It's a cylinder #3 misfire and I was viewing the freeze frame.

If you look closely there are two rows of nine cylinders. Wright 3350. My freind has a former Navy T28C and it has a Wright 1820 one row of nine cylinders. Many WW2 engines of originally Wright or Pratt & Whitney design were produced by other mass capacity manufacturers to meet Govt' War demands. Cadillac built tanks with radial engine powerplants. Everybody had part.

So I have a squeaky belt problem it doesn’t like the cold nor 60ish mornings as it’s been then shoots up to the 80s here in the dirty mitten. Lol so I’ve changed the belt dealer bought, the tensioner ive used soap to quickly quiet it down but I’m over doing that! Especially when it’s not been squeaking for some time now? Now it’s bak so belt is just over a year old and I can’t stand to hear it squeak!!! So should I buy a new tensioner or lube it up with something not on the belt groves of course anyone have this problem? Thanks

Cheap belts are bad for that. If your not using a Gates belt, get one. Yes they are expensive, but we're talking a belt here.
