Are there any websites or good books anyone can recommend for converting a model
a engine for use in a Piet as some books and materials are better than others.
I figured some of you guys hat have already converted their engines you could
point me in the right direction.

No one source I know of....
So.... Read up on model a engine sites for modifications relating to durability,
not horsepower. Like inserted bearings, balancing, better pistons, porting,
polishing, blue printing, valve face angles, etc. some of that does give more
horsepower, but it's free. What you want to avoid are the modifications that
reduce reliability. Boring for displacement is a bad idea generally.
Then read bhp's original article from the flying and glider manual which contains
the aviation stuff like better oiling, mounting mags, carb mounting, carb heat,
prop mounting, etc.
Back issues of the buckeye piet association newsletters have a lot of info.
Lastly, search the archives here and ask specific questions! Asking how to build
a motor won't get much response. However, as you research, and you find conflicting
info or just don't understand a particular thing, those questions become
easier to talk about.

Thanks Tools. Exactly what I was asking for. A direction to go looking for the
necessary information. I have found lots of sites to look into. I just happened
to buy this engine at a good price and never really looked into anything for
the A. Great suggestions...... Thanks
