Gipsy Six 2 manual

Thanks Mark, much appreciated.

Work also gets in the way of my stuff I would rather be doing as well, oh for a small lottery win.( I am not greedy)

I’m sorry Ken but I have been flat out at work (very unreasonable of them – smiles) and am now on a weeks holiday, but will get it done when I return in the week of the 7/12.

Hi Mark,

Any luck with the scanning?

Ken

Ken,

I got your email, its @66 A5?/A6? pages with @5 fold out drawings and will take me a few days before I can run it through the scanner to create a PDF.

Mine is definately a Gipsy Six series II, I have three Gipsy Six “series I” and was originally going to say the series II is for some reason a lot skinner, but its seems one of the three”series I” has the full set of 28 AS Amendment Sheets near doubling its thickness compared to the other two “series I” and the series II.

The “series I” are not actually marked as that but simply titled “Care and Maintenance of the 200 H.P. D.H. Gipsy Six Aero Engine”, where as the series II is fully titled as “Care and Maintenance of the D.H. Gipsy Six series II Aero Engine”.

Apparantly the primary difference is the series II uses Gipsy Major Cylinders?.

The “Series I” is 9186 cc, compression ratio of 5.25:1, 185hp at 2100 rpm & 200hp at 2350 rpm, with a bore of 118mm and stroke of 140mm.

The Series II is ???? cc, compression ratio of 6:1, 185hp at 2100 rpm & 205hp at 2400 rpm, with a bore of 118mm and stroke of 140mm

I guess with the same bore and stroke but higher compression the series II pistons and heads must be significantly different too?

Thanks for looking Graham.

Mark I have sent you an e-mail.

Ken

I may have one…. I’ll look this evening

Part Two
Looked… checked- no… it’s A Gipsy Six manual!

Hi Mark

Thanks for the offer if nothing closer turns up, I already have original copies of the standard Gipsy Six and the Queen 2 so only need the Gipsy Six 2. I am not bothered about originals as its the info in them thats important.

Ken

Ken,

I have an original Gipsy Six series II manual, (along with the standard Gipsy Six, Gipsy Queen II and Queen III manuals and many others), I can probably arrange a copy or scan into a PDF if you cant find one closer to home.
