I had 4 VW engines 2 subaru engines 1 con 75 and finely 1 0-200. I told myself
I was done with VW and Subarus I lost 3 VW engines on the way to oshkosh, VWs
all in Mo. area, Subaru in the pan handle of Florida. O-200 ran for 2 years
with no problems. I sold the plane. I owned Less Palmers for a few years and
Bud Willson for a year. I got my 47 Bellanca Cruiseair flying this year
(rebuilt Engine) I am selling my C310 next Febuary. Told my wife I am going to
find another KR taildrager to fly.

Good morning guys, Every so often we get into the discussion of whether or not
the Subaru is a good alternative to the airplane engine. As far back as I can
remember I've had a wrench in my hand and I still consider myself a fair
mechanic. We all would like to think that we could work out the issues flying
behind a Subaru offers but several years ago I realized that the chances that I
could find the "magical fix" that several thousand other pilots before me
hadn't been able to do was just not worth the fight. I decided to go with the
Cont. O-200 and after trips from Talladega Al. to Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois
and all over the southeast I have no regrets. My advice, spend a few extra
bucks on a proven engine. You'll save $$$ in the long run.
Just my opinion, your ideas may vary and that's OK.
