There are very simple ways tofix the cyl head & compression issue. Just make a minimu, combustion chamber volumn for all engines & forget about it. I doubt that this would not cost much at all.
LA sleeve makes sleeves for all engines. Just make each engine use the same sleeve. Thanks ...

If I recall, there are 5 different heads and 3 different cylinders available for the 494Rave. Mixing and matching these parts could open Pandora's box. It would be too easy to create high compression versions, using "legal" parts. That was the main reason the 494Rave was not legalized. I see that there are two different cylinders and 3 different heads for the 493. I don't know if mxing parts would create a "hot" version. Since it's relatively easy to identify the "proper" mix of parts for a specific year motor, maybe the rules should specify that all engine parts must be the "right" combination, as specified in the Rotax manual for a specific sled. With some work on the wording, the intent to prevent "hot" versions could be accomplished. -Jeff B.
