As all of you know, My last flight only lasted to a climb to 800' AGL and a
180° back to the airport for a landing while loosing rpm. You also seen the
compression check I posted.
Here is my diagnosis:
1) Oil temp was running high due to binding of oil pump. Yes, the oil pump was
so tight that
Mark---why do you think the pump was binding in the 1st place???

Well, I have now finished the re-build of my VW. It is now a 2276 running
8.5 to 1 compression. I hope to finish the installation today or tomorrow.
I did run into a little issue right at the end that some of you VW people
may have had to deal with and can shed some light on what needs to be done
Do what seems obvious to me - give Steve a call and ask him.

the hole does not line up.
Also the torque value is 60 to 70 ft-lbs.

The first thing that I should have done, was to be sure that I was using the
latest manual. I will have to check with Steve to see if he sells any of
those thin washers or shims. I can only hope that 80 # did not ruin the
hub. Thanks for the information.

Luis, don't overlook Mark Langford's Corvair rebuild website (just Google
it). It's a masterpiece. The Corvair may not be a Revmaster but
exactly the same procedures will apply.

At 7:30 am this morning, N886MJ came to life once again. I only ran her long
enough for the oil temp to start rising. and did not run it above 1500 rpm.
This was mainly because it was raining and I did not want to get wet and melt.
I am planning on being back at the airport this afternoon after

Thanks Mike. I will research the swivels on the rocker arms cause mine are the

Orma,
When I built the engine for the Little Beast, I messed around with a lot of
cams and seem to remember that our engines turn slowly, compared to racing
engines. For that reason, I remember something about long duration. I hope
that Bob Hoover will chime in here, because he is the expert. I
The VW shop looked at my setup. They said that the 120 degree cam would
give me max torque at just under 4000 rpm.

Duration is how you shift the powerband either lower or higher. If you
want lots of torque at low RPM and don't care about high RPM (that's us),
you want short duration rather than long. If you've upped the displacement
of the engine by boring and/or stroking, you'll probably need to compensate
