Harold, you may be right about your above statement.
Years ago one of my neighbors built an original Rotorway Helicopter and used a 
Mazda Rotary engine on it. I stood nearby as he ran the engine rpm fast enough 
to attempt an almost hover. That engine was screaming, the exhaust pipe turned 
red, I thought the exhaust was going to melt and fall off of the engine. It 
(the exhaust) was out in the open luckily. If it had been inside of a 
fiberglass cowling who knows what may have happened.
I was very surprised to see that because I had known people who had Mazda 
rotary automobiles and I had never heard anything about this. The engine on the 
helicopter had a lite weight thinner wall tubing exhaust compared to an 
automobile exhaust manifold I'm sure. Anyway, it was scary looking and 
SCREAMING LOUD!

I have a VW motor mount coming. Someone on here contacted me about having a
Great Plains VW for sale near Nappanee, Ind.
Waiting to hear back from him.
On another note...all repairs are completed and the fuselage final sanded
and ready for primer.
Thanks for all the help in confirming that the VW is still one of the
best choices.

KR> Selling my VW engine

2016-08-26 Thread Mike Arnold
I am selling my VW motor and accessories and giving KR guys or gals 1st
crack at it before I go to Barnstormers etc. Here is the info.
Stock 1600cc motor, new bearings and rings. I haven't taken the heads off,
but I know the guy that put the engine together and he is very good. He
used it as a "test mule" motor to taxi a crop duster he was building. It
has never flown in a homebuilt that I know of.
Comes with hub and Sterba 54x42 prop that is in good shape.
The Intake needs cleaning up but works with the carb that is on it.
It was hand prop'd so has no flywheel on it but comes with a new one.
Includes a complete Diehl accessory case with 35A alternator never
installed and the new light weight starter all from Great Plains.
Includes a Comp u fire ignition kit
and a new bosch blue coil,
Chrome push rod tubes
New drive gear installation kit
I am including a "hapi" type motor mount that fits the Diehl acc. case
built by me in a jig so it is straight and square.
I have a never installed German .010 .010 crank I was going to use to
rebuild the engine they are hard to find so I bought when I could. It is
perfect
Including an extra pair intake port
Everything you see in pics goes with it.
Price is $3500.00
While this motor will run and has been installed on an airplane to taxi it,
I am NOT representing it to be air-worthy, use your discretion, I was going
to build it to 1835 cc with the 10 10 crank. I am not responsible for what
you do with the engine. Just selling a lot of stuff for a great price. Call
for any info you might need. I can get more pics if you need them. Thanks
btw I am going with a different power plant or it would not be for sale.
