| Subject: | Re: Kitfox-List: Scrap 2200 Jabiru needed |
I was just reminded that I should have requested a later model engine
to use as a mock-up...at least one with similar heads to mine so that
I wouldn't go and build something that might not fit my engine when I
went to bolt it on...duh!
I want to see if I can make a different intake manifold system...one
that will more centrally mount the Rotec TBI that I have, and get
more even fuel/air distribution. I would have to tie my own plane up
for a week or so in order to make the necessary parts, and it would
be a whole lot simpler to do it if I had another dummy engine to
measure and test fit parts on. That's why it isn't necessary for it
to be a complete engine, just so it is complete enough to have block,
cylinders, heads, intake tubes, and oil pan. I could then have the
dummy engine on my work bench, and it'd make fitting the experimental
parts a whole lot easier. What I have in mind is an updraft manifold.
Once the building and the fitting of the parts is done, I would
return the engine unharmed.
I'll be heading out for the Mid-Eastern Regional Fly-In at Urbana,
Ohio in a little while so I won't be able to see my email until
Sunday late.
