Esteemed Vdubbers, Dunno what to make of the Aero-Carb. Never seen anything like it & IMO sure looks slick, simple & somehow seems to work. No doubt I'll get a...
I have had to machine my cylinder heads due to warping and have to calculate the deck height. Can any one advise the optimum compression ratio for a 1835 cc....
Do you have all the correct sheetmetal diverting the cooling air to the heads. Theres those two little pieces on the heads that spread the air sideways. It has...
Can't say its more fun after a 6 week break, but it sure was fun to line up and open it up again. The Doc said that it was strong enough to lift myself out of...
we have fitted air scoops to improve cooling during flight and used the correct sequence for tighening the heads. It must be long climbs on a cold day...
For any of you who are looking into digital instruments, I would personally recommend that you STAY AWAY from the stratomaster stuff. I have an E1 and the...
Hi Cliff, Are you using the new thicker material heads such as the CB044's or Mofoco 042's? (You can tell if you need 3/4"reach plugs) I've not experienced...

... Yes, it is. Indeed, it is a responsibility of aircradft desigher to provide adequate cooling. This always can be done with good cowl and baffles. The VW...
The normal procedure for a second coil is a COIL SWITCHER and an extra set of points mounted in the distributor. This is when you do not have an extra set of...

Sam, Visit www.greatplainsas.com and it should answer most of your questions. I also recommend you visit http://www.buildersbooks.com/bingelis_set_of_41.htm...
I have a 2180cc VW built by Great Plains. With the 1821 carb, I do use the choke but thus do not need a primer. It starts pretty quick. You are correct that...
