That sounds like an engine that was run without a front bearing for some
period of time. The nose of the crank moves so far up
Wow, lots of things I could add and say about this thread ; )
Oddly enough, I am in Mark?s camp when it comes to turbocharging a VW in a
plane, at least at this point. While I have about 8 flight hours on my turbo
motor, I don?t/can?t approach the plane like I used to. It used to be a pretty

I also updated the Fly-In Schedule page. As soon as Larry approves my edits

Re. Great planes. With all due respect Mark, and I mean that sincerely,
their has been the same man at the heart of Great Planes from the beginning
and one of the owners and still directing the engine department and most
other aspects of GP. By the way look at all the changes Corvair has gone
I used Smooth Prime (

but it wasn't cheap back then either. I don't recall how much it
took but certainly not the three gallon it suggest in the
I have posted this link many times. ?My opinion this is the best way to prep
the KR for painting without braking the bank.

Some random thoughts that I feel must be said:
Turbocharging a VW would be a recipe for disaster IMHO, and insurance
that you wouldn't do much flying. Don't forget...it's all about flying,
not how fast you can say your plane would go if it were running.
GPASC has proprietary
interesting. what parts are proprietary in a revmaster that are not in a GP?

anyone mix micro into high build (roll on) primer to get lighter build?

A year or two ago, someone with a new Revmaster - I think it was the
R-2300 - sent us a picture of head/valve damage he had suffered with his
new engine. Someone else was referenced at that time who had the same
problems with that engine.
How could that happen? Nobody knows the VW better than

Thanks Mark,
Can you add a link to the specific Chinese heads? I?m trying to decide what
to do on that front.

I continue to be amazed that Mark has time to not only buy, build, crash
and re-build but also track down esoteric forums on VW heads. I would
guess Mark doesn't get much sleep.
Thanks to the link I've discovered a new tool - an "air file". I don't
need one but do enjoy buying stuff I don't
Hi Mike,
My son and I are getting ready to fill and finish, and we were planning on
rolling on ultrahigh build awlgrip primer (which is a 2 part epoxy primer)
after a wet wipe epoxy seal of the micro-fill. Supposedly you can roll the
stuff on if you reduce by ~20% - but it sounds like you?re
gosh I wish there were a "settled" solution, after all these years it
still seems like "trying things" and owen's thought on "rebuilding
every 300 hours" I took to mean the top end, and in particular it
seems to me that temperature is the killer.
with such a tight thermal margin as Mark mentions
Yes to all the above.I used a single nozzle in front of the carb located
under the engine[updraft].It worked ok,but I am in the process of
installing 2 points,one in each side on top of the engine.No data on this
yet.Fuel pressure seems adequate with fuel pump off in cruise but use boost

To add to the insightful post that Owen Hughes (SVD) wrote yesterday day
on VWs, I would avoid the Mofoco heads. The photos show lots of fins,
and that's great, but what they are lacking is cooling air passages, I
mean almost nothing. If the air's not flowing through the fins, they're

Man, I'm thinking 220 wet, a good rubber sanding block, and a bucket of water
are going to be your best friends for a while. :o)? Yep.? You're gonna hate
sanding after working that stuff out. We'll let you sing a solo after this.
