If you are running a Corvair or VW based auto engine from the mid to late
'60's (sorry, didn't read the whole thread), 25 psi at full operating
temperature is normal unless you have a high pressure / high volume oil
pump. Typical bypass pressures are cold and will run about 60 psi...

The VW cases used for aircraft are usually the dual relief cases. The
foreword relief plug is the thermal relief, it has the longer spring, and
channels the oil either to the oil cooler or back into the main oil galley
based on the oil viscosity. The rear relief plug, has the shorter spring,

Hello. I'm brand new to this list. A friend and I have purchased the KR2S
plans and were getting ready to start building the airplane when I came across
some photos and descriptions of the KR100 built in the mid '80s.
Our goal is to build a single seat speedster for under $20k, and the KR2
Jeff Scott sent me a note asking if I was back, so I figured I would let
everyone know I'm finally home from my latest military deployment to Iraq
and that my KR2S is back in the air. But I didn't get home until last

thats got to eqate to maybe 8-10 hp more ---significant
but the pressure drop off when hot at cruise down to 25 psi a little low
where is the pressure reg --i believe there are 2 devices --this has an oil
