Why you should buy my Corvair engine. Never had any of these issues. After
I connected the coils to the right polarity, cranked first time every time
and never overheats or has any of those problems. Also, no tappet
adjustment.

Bigger valves also have more area to absorb heat. I don't think that works
out on favor of larger valves. Also stem area remains the same. That works
out in favor of smaller valves. You can also take care in grinding seats to
increase heat transfer area.

Actually they do, particularly the exhaust valve. The majority of the
heat absorbed by the valve is transmitted to the head through contact
with the seat. The larger that surface the better the heat transfer.
What heat doesn't get transferred
hi all, I was searching the KR messages database (HUGE advantage to have that
resource) for stall speeds and flight test speeds etc. I also found in the
archive pages somewhere, a nice excel spreadsheet of about 2 dozen kr's with
specs, stall, top, engine, configuration, prop, etc.

I have my Roy's Garage built Corvair engine for sale. The reason for
selling is that I want to put a UL Power in the plane that I am now
building.
This is a real good value. All you would need is an exhaust system and
motor mount that fit your application.
This engine had my KR2 at 14,000 f
I plan to be at Airventure again this year. If I get the usual parking spot, my
KR will be in front of Homebuilder's HQ. Afraid I won't be able to make it to
the KR Gathering due to other commitments (Kansas City Irish Fest weekend).

Perhaps Steve Bennett could be cajoled into writing up a little
something, given that he has several decades of day-to-day VW/a
Thank you Pete, looking forward to meeting you.

What Mark says re: valve diameter is very true. Big valves serve no
purpose in this application. And I suspect the existence of aluminum
pushrods is intended to reduce inertia in the valvetrain, again, for
higher revving applications. I doubt if they are necessary or practical.
