I saw a sign in a shop that sold motorcycle gear one time and it fits
right in with what you are saying.
"If you have a ten dollar head, buy a ten dollar
helment"

Derek,
I've been flying mine for over 350 hours. Seems to work well for me. I
trust my life, my wife's life, my friends lives and all the lives of the
KR people that have flown with me. I guess I feel it is reliable or I
wouldn't fly behind it. Then again, I fly behind a proven conversion
engine from Steve Bennett at Great Plains. If you ask me about building
one up myself out of a junk yard, then I guess I have already spoken and
said I wouldn't do that. As in all conversions, you can learn a lot from
the people that have gone before you. Perhaps you are an engine mechanic
and can do it yourself. If not, I would suggest following somebody's
conversion. This can be in the way of their manual or it can be in the
way of an complete kit/engine. In the end, don't build up from all junk
parts to save money.
I will digress for a moment. After many years of going to KR Gatherings,
I got to know Dan Diehl. Many years later, I asked Dan why he is so hard
to get to know? He said he had seen too many people die and he didn't
want to become too close to someone that was choosing the "cheap way
out" and then find out they had crashed. It made sense to me. Choose any
engine you would like but whatever you do, don't just choose "cheap."

Hello,
I was wondering if you guys could give me the dirt on VW engines.
Are they reliable? They are pretty cheap and I am trying to find out if
this is another "you get what you pay for" type of thing. Please write
back with any information you feel will help my decision. Thanks for all
the excellent feedback to my posts.
Thanks again,
Derek Hudeck
