My Quickie book is at the airport. Does anyone have it handy and could you tell me how many inches in front of the firewall the reference point is to calculate weight & balance??? Thanks! Doug

Why???

Doug, I thought you used all great planes stuff for your engine including the cases. I must have misunderstood ( not surprising ) do you just use a stock VW case . Darrell

I'm not familiar with VW Canada. Show them my pictures and ask them what they did. Did they put a prop hub on your engine??? If so, you need to know how that was done. Did they beef up the rear

You attach a dial indicator to the crankcase. Pull the plugs. Load the crank either all the way forward, or aft, then rotate. Quite easy. The Overhaul manual has the limits. I think the limit is

Doug, What is the difference in engine weights between the Type 4 and Type 1 conversions? Ryan use the the prop new crank machined about something that aluminum much the type type 4 has

No I'm not telling you to stay away from the type 4 VW. Just don't use the std. crank that comes with the auto engine. The end you use to fit the prop hub has a small taper which is unsuitable for a

Yes, the prop hub's and bearings are different, but do the same thing. Beef up the end where the fan gets attached. I was looking at Rene's RevMaster installation at Livermore and one advantage that
