Fragments of a DB605 … but which version?
Hi,
These last months I've slowly and painfully taken out parts of a DB605 engine from the ground, and I wonder if someone has some clues that would help ID the version of the engine, that could maybe help a little to ID the plane itself. Here are some pictures of the most relevant parts: Exhaust valve and port: note the amazing conditions of the exhaust valve, its has only been water washed and lightly bead blasted http://imageshack.com/a/img834/4885/hrcz.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img577/8629/w76g.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img545/4097/ejz8.jpg Intake valve and rocker arm http://imageshack.com/a/img560/3928/3qhn.jpg Exhaust stub http://imageshack.com/a/img853/7512/gv0c.jpg Crankshaft counterweight (front end one,) http://imageshack.com/a/img585/5770/zmom.jpg Connecting rod lower plain bearing http://imageshack.com/a/img600/538/ddya.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img842/7838/mlz6.jpg Partial number: I think it might be 605.100-001, reference part of the crankshaft housing, number seen on the left side of the engine. http://imageshack.com/a/img845/783/m64w.jpg This is the front end of the left cylinder block: http://imageshack.com/a/img36/4136/oq2e.jpg After bead blasting, a stamped serial appeared on it: http://imageshack.com/a/img812/9995/xqs9.jpg Anyone knows what it means? I assume L stands for links (left) ? So far it is the only serial I have for the whole plane, I hope it will help! Last part, looks like a gun synchro interruptor, but can't identify it, and it has no numbers on it. http://imageshack.com/a/img827/7001/gyrp.jpg http://imageshack.com/a/img593/3899/kw8g.jpg Thanks for the interest!
