Darren,
As a long time VW builder (40 years) I recommend you remove the paint. All
paint acts as an insulator to some degree and the last thing a VW needs is
more heat. I have always kept my engines bare and those of my customers.

Larry,
You might talk to a reputable instrument shop. Some old brain cells tell me
there is significance to the mounting position. Some Army aircraft I
worked on had a tilted platform built between the instrument face and panel
for
proper positioning in the panel.

Watch out for EMI. Back when the UH-60 was introduced it suffered many

Here's one for you. It happened to me at Meacham Field, Fort Worth, Tx in

to my left, a C150 to my right and a C-172 to his right. Just

I answered you about using analog servos. After reflection, it wouldn't
make any difference which type servo you use because you remove the servo
amplifier from the system and drive the servo directly. This should remove the
RF interference issue. Use a DPDT toggle with spring loaded
For this application, one needs to use an analog servo, not digital servo.

My experience with elongated dowel pin holes and cracked flywheels usually
stems from under torque on the flywheel retaining bolt and/or undersize
dowel pins. It is the only place on a VW that is safe to slightly exceed max
torque value but not more than 10%.

Scott is absolutely right. As soon as you shut down the engine you lose
your cooling airflow and the temp between the top of the engine and cowl
starts going up quickly and cooks the fuel in the distribution block and the

Mark,
I don't have experience with Corvair's but I do have significant experience
with VW's. In VW's, this malady is usually caused by misalignment between
the cam and the crank. They MUST be in as perfect parallel as possible,
both vertical and horizontal. You may solve this issue by line
My 2 cents worth. The term "Certified" is often used interchangeably when
discussing factory built and experimental aircraft. It seems to be a
confusion of licensing Category versus Manufacturing Standards. Factory built
"Certified" aircraft MUST comply with the "TYPE CERTIFICATE DATA SHEET"

Absolutely great idea. makes the valves last longer. What type valves do
