Since Performance Engines has been brought up in this thread . . . Many
have had great experiences with them, but the Lancair community has had
some pretty serious safety issues come up. I personally have no facts, so
I will not judge, but my opinion is that it should be disclosed that past
customers have brought to light some issues with Continental engines.
Below is a snippet from the Lancair Yahoo group from 2010 and more info can
be found on LML (Lancair Mailing List).
"There's been a lot of talk lately on other sites regarding the overhauled
engines delivered by Performance Engines of La Vern, CA. There have been
several total failures lately and a few others have had theirs torn down fo
r
inspection only to find unserviceable or out of tolerance parts installed.
In
one case, the engine case was cracked. This is causing many owners a lot of
money and putting their lives at risk. The FAA is currently paying very
close
attention to PE."

Every RV'er that has ever gone with less hp or smaller displacement, always
pays the price. They have to run a higher percentage of power just to keep
up, and because of that they also end up burning more fuel. Also if you're
carbeurated you have more difficulty running lean of peak, which also mean
s you burn more fuel.
A friend of mine with a new Mattituck, carbed 540 has an avg cruise fuel bu
rn between 11 and 12 gph.... whereas I burn between 9.6 and 10.2.... do the
math, I now have over 500 hours, at a 1+ gph more fuel burn, that would co
st you around $2,800 in additional fuel cost..... so over the life of the T
BO, over $10,000!!!!!!!!

I concur. I wish they were still selling new kits when I bought mine. I di
d help facilitate getting a neighbor's engine overhauled by Barrett. Qualit
y was second to none. You can't beat the support both Rhonda and Alan have g
iven the RV-10 community.
They've been known to hang out at the RV-10 hq at OSH. Given folks their pe
rsonal cell numbers and taking calls during off hours. Help folks when ther
e is no money in it for them. Hang out here and on VAF. Generally all arou
nd good people that do their best to support the experimental community. Yo
u can't ask for better support.

| Subject: | Blocking heater vent outlets |
My rear heater leaks--the door is bent, so even when it's closed, it still
lets a decent amount of hot air through. As a temporary fix, does anyone
see a problem with using aluminum tape to block the air outlets, by the
rear passenger feet? I figure there will be no air flow, so no issue.
Thanks...
