KR> 2016 KR Gathering Web Search

[Wayne]

I don't understand the problem.

I entered "2016+KR+Gathering" search string in www.dogpile.com
I got several pages of false hits, and this, about 6 entries down from 
the top of the page,

"The 2016 KR GATHERING Coming this Fall! - Bouyea.Net
www.bouyea.net/KRGathering/web_pages
The 2016 KR GATHERING Coming this Fall! KRGathering 2016 - September 16 
& 17, 2016 Mount Vernon, IL (KMVN) Only days until the 2016 KR GATHERING!"

This is the actual web page,

  http://www.bouyea.net/KRGathering/index.html

The same search gave the same results with yahoo.

google failed to find the web site, it found at least 8 old gathering 
web sites, including the one for 2015, but could not find the new site.
I've seen the same thing with other searches.  This is why I no longer 
use google.

YMMV

Paul -
Yahoo found it, sort of.  Apparently Yahoo is still good for something.  
I don't know whether the screenshot below will work with the text only 
requirement of the KRnet, but if not, try Yahoo. Google should pick it 
up when it starts appearing on various sites besides KRnet - though that 
should be enough for it to get there eventually.

KR> Dana Overall's plane, Black Magic

[brian.kraut at eamanufacturing.com]

I have wondered about him myself.  I had not spoke to him in several
years and a while back I tried searching for him, but old number and
email did not work.  Did some searching on the Vans Airforce site and
last I found is that he was selling Black Magic so not sure that he
still owns it.  Not sure if he is still flying anymore either.  Let me
know if anyone knows how to get in touch with him.  Great guy and is
certainly missed here.

KR> Facet fuel pump flare?

[Jeff Scott]

If you read the Q under the Facet Pumps on the AS Web site, it states that 
the 40108 model has an AN-6 male flare fitting.

I have hooked up many facet pumps on both my first and second KR2. I
always
used the standard AN flared tube or AN fittings and they all fit
perfectly.
I bought my facets from either Wicks or AS, but I am not sure that would

KR> 2016 KR Gathering Web Site Update

Has anyone considered starting a page on Wikipedia?
I would think such a page would be a real asset to krnet.

If anyone is interested, I will open a page and we can start building 
the data.

Anyone?

KR> Type 1 Cylinder Heads

[laser147 at juno.com]

Dan said, 

> "I had a GPASC 2180 back before they realized that the oversized valves
were
useless and a detriment.  The replacements that I got from GPASC, were
from
EMPI"

The ones I have are also EMPI.  There's some discussion about the value
of going to the 40mm valves - my position on the issue is that the larger
valve helps dissipate and distribute heat.  Excess heat is at the root of
all VW problems pretty much, so anything that can help dissipate heat is
good.  Bob Hoover's essays on the subject are worth their weight in gold.
  If the VW is run cool the chugger will chug along forever.  

When Steve put this engine in he ran it everywhere he went at 2900 RPM. 
I run it between 3100-3200 WOT.  Steve flew low with reduced throttle.  I
fly high with a coarsely-pitched prop.  The point is anything higher than
these RPM's generates a huge amount of heat from internal friction.  High
RPM's is what causes the heat problems.  Running it slow and easy keeps
it cool.

Tommy said something about running it too lean.  If that was done below
8000 feet where full throttle will produce more than 75% power, then yes,
running it too lean in that situation can/will cause operational temps to
be exceeded and can cause case cracks, head cracks, failed valves, and
who knows what else.  The VW doesn't put up with consistent overheating. 
Once in a while - climbing out on a hot day fully loaded, it will
tolerate it when these occasional situations arise.   Running rich in
such a situation is necessary, not for proper combustion, but to keep the
engine cool.   Above 8000, or if at 75% power or less when below 8000
(non-turboed), there's nothing that can be done with the mixture that
will harm the engine in any fashion.  

Except for situations where the excess fuel is needed for cooling
(take-off and climb-out on hot days) lean is good.  The leaner the
better.

Some will remember I had a valve spring failure and forced landing when
over the top of the TCA in Tampa some years back.  When I got it back
home to San Diego I took the heads off and not only put new German
springs in but also used Langford's world-class tutorial on head work to
re-do my heads.  I cut new seats with the Neway cutters like Mark
recommended and put new Manley valves in, same size it came with.   40mm
and 35.5.  At the time I took the pictures at the link below those heads
had 753 hours on them.  As you can see, there's no cracking and I don't
expect there ever will be any.  The EMPI heads that Steve used in
building this engine have been great.  If he or RIMCO had not put re-used
exhaust valve springs in when putting the heads together I wouldn't have
had my spring failure - however that event provided a good opportunity to
clean up the heads and put some bulletproof valves in.  

After 753 hours you can see in the pictures the guides were still like
new.   That was thanks to Steve putting swivel feet on the rocker arms
and also because the guides were put in straight to start with.  Mark has
mentioned Jim Hill's engine, also from GP, which didn't have them put in
straight - at least on one of them.It caused endless problems.

KR> VW type 1 questions - best reliability

[Dan Heath]

I had a GPASC 2180 back before they realized that the oversized valves were
useless and a detriment.  The replacements that I got from GPASC, were from
EMPI.  If you want good heads, get the ones manufactured under license from
VW, note, that is NOT WW.  The ones that I got were from Brazil with
standard sized valves and never had another problem with them.  However, my
problem was not the same as yours.  The exhaust valves in my heads were
sinking into the head.  The reason was because EMPI makes them with plugs in
the valve recesses, to make it easy to remove after casting.  This, plus the
oversize, causes the exhaust to have less meat around the valve seat, than
is necessary to remove the heat.



So, the message is get the right heads with standard valves and keep them
cool.
