Jeff Great info on all the engines. As you know I have a lycoming in my kr and I am very pleased with the performance and the fuel burn,but it was along road to get to this point. Lycomings are not a bolt on instillation,the carb hangs down very low, the cowl needs to be extended, valve covers

KR builders, With the events of late there seems to be a sudden search for a suitable aircraft engine for the KRs. I am not going to tell people what engine they should use, but I will walk through a comparison of the series of Continental and Lycoming engines that *COULD* be suitable. This
