    Subject: Subaru Engine Prices
    --> RV9-List message posted by: "Ray L" <Justplane@comcast.net> Hello Listeners, When looking at data from October 2001, I noticed the 2.5I engine package went for $13,000 and it included a lot of accessories. Now I see the price is $22,000 for the 2.5 XT variable valve timing firewall package. Can somebody explain the $9,000 difference? Respectfully, Ray Lackwitz

    --> RV9-List message posted by: "Terry Hobert" <terhobey@hotmail.com> If worried about increasing the hole then use oops rivets. an4 stems with an3 heads. They work fine. With so much pratice, I can drill out rivets perfectly. I don't know if thats a good thing or not, but tells you that you'll be drilling out alot down the road, believe me!

    Subject: Re: Subaru Engine Prices
    --> RV9-List message posted by: Sargentclt@cs.com It seems as though simple economics have trespassed into the art of "New Engine Technology". I have two arguments. One, if you are the sort of person to build an airplane, why not venture into building an engine ie. the Titan kit for $14500 add a propeller (fixed) for $2000 and your done. Or call Mattituck Engines and buy an already built one for $18000. Either way you save money over the Subaru. And lets not forget that every mechanic knows how to turn a wrench on the Lycoming. No offense to those who like the Subaru but you are the mechanic in this choice like it or not. I've heard all the discussion for the Soob and both it and the Lycoming are fine choices but not when price is a factor. Hey just my .02 worth. Tad Sargent RV7A

    Subject: Re: Subaru Engine Prices
    --> RV9-List message posted by: "Gary Newsted" <fcs@jlc.net> It could just be that we love our Subaru's enough to pay top dollar for them. I prefer to save money on fuel rather than on engine selection. Anyone thinking these powerplants should be less valuable than a Lyco, hasn't looked very closely. ...my two cents...
