Frank, Editor "Ford 3.8/4.2L Engine and V-6 STOL I am happy to concede that some automotive engines may have undergone durability testing that is more severe than that required for aviation engines. However, it is overstating the case significantly to say that these automotive engine tests exceed by 400% the power output required for the aviation engine tests. The aviation engine tests have many sections at 100% power. If you exceed that by 400% you have to run at 500% power. It doesn't help your credibility to state "facts" that are obviously wrong. Type a bit slower next time. -- Kevin Horton - RV-8 Ottawa, Canada http://go.phpwebhosting.com/~khorton/rv8/
