Parts from crash site of 42-97091 - 06/28/2008 05:42:34 PM
Hi all,

here a link to the first parts from crash site of 42-97091
Maybe someone can help to identify ?

On the crash site I also found a destroyed cylinder head with valve and valve seat.
The diameter of the valve is 80mm (3.15 inch). I think it is the intake valve...
edit: it´s a exhaust valve


Regards
Nils

Nils....2nd photo is of C-4 Fluorescent cockpit lamp used to illuminate fluorescent cockpit instruments.

The engine parts are from a Curtiss-Wright R-1820 -97 engine.

I cannot ID  the other parts.

Jim,

thanks for the identification !
Have someone a photo or link to a complete lamp ?

Just I fund the other site of the cylinder head, with intake valve, rocker arm and rocker box.


Regards
Nils
