Hi Greg, I guess you're talking about GM's 292 cu.in. "L25" engine or its earlier variant? In standard trim, they put-out 292 Nm of torque (not hp) and about 115 hp (86 kW) at the top of their hp curve, although most of us that owned them surely wished that they put-out 292-hp! I'll leave it for you to de-rate this performance to woodgas and 1800 RPM. Maybe I'm reading you wrong; if you are simply saying 20-BHP at 1,800-RPM on woodgas, then that seems right-on! I seem to remember some beefed-up main bearing models, also. Best, Mark

Going to go ahead with it and just hope the stink has settled form my insurance company ripping hair out of their heads. ( hope they are not on here.. bugger ) Besides this is not a heating device so should not count. What out of the junk yard specials would be considered ideal for wood gas give I Only need this time to come up with 20 hp at 1,800 rpm? I have everything in the shop for a Mike clone. Spending a few bucks for the right engine is going to be real cheep just now. I am not keen on stuck valves through pistons. ( it that ever happens... never mind ) Regards all, Charles _______________________________________________ Gasification mailing list to Send a Message to the list, use the email address [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE or Change your List Settings use the web page http://lists.bioenergylists.org/mailman/listinfo/gasification_lists.bioenerg ylists.org for more Gasifiers, News and Information see our web site: http://gasifiers.bioenergylists.org/ ----- No virus found in this message.
