It has been my experience that most people don't need or have qualifications
for this. When it comes to engines we might as well be talking about politics,
religion, or sex. Most folks have their minds made up and there is no changing
Yes, VW is a good reliable engine, but why do you say "Corvairs suck". What
are your qualifications for making such a statement?

Mark,
Ok, I'll call you out on it - VWs rule! Corvairs suck!
Just enjoying my KR as much as anyone. I gave 5 more Young Eagles ride in mine
last weekend. Got a hat from EAA the other day for going over 50. But I'm sure
some other KR flyer can beat that.

Because I"m a bit out of the loop, has anyone built a bearing section to

I wrote something yesterday about more powerful engines being "safer" than
lower powered ones in a given plane. This was from a "gain altitude as
quickly as possible on takeoff" standpoint. I'm a little surprised that
nobody called me out on using the Corvair as an example, given that I've

42.3 hours of very smooth operation. Oil pressure is exactly the same as
first time I ran it (39.5 psi at cruise), so I suspect it's running well. I
plan to pull the bearing/cover off at 100 hours just to
After my second crank break, I was starting to have reservations about the
Corvair, but with the fifth bearing on the engine, and seeing the difference
it makes with vibration level during climbs and turns, I'm feeling a lot
more confident about it.

I forgot to finish the last sentence of what I wrote. I was in the middle of
pasting in the link to my Corvair page and decided to move it up into the
first paragraph, and forgot to delete this sentence fragment, so you didn't

During my engine re-assembly I found an oil galley plug that was removed when
the engine was cleaned. Not knowing this engine as well as others I have built,
I do not know where to return it. I removed it from one end, and I believe that
it resides right behind the cam gear, but I do not

I think just about anybody short of a moron is "qualified" to build a
Corvair conversion engine. If you buy William Wynne's $59 conversion
manual, combined with the $15 GM factory manual, you are immediately armed
with all the information you'll need to build a safe Corvair airplane
engine. The f

It depends on how you build up the engine but I'd go the with a
