Scat Cylinder Heads
Does anyone have any experience with Scat cylinder heads on an aircraft.
They appear to have a larger cooling area, and are designed for cooling high output VWs. http://www.scatvw.com/CH_Home.htm |

But when someone who has failed to do any basic research on a topic then fails to provide a valid email address, it forces others to take the time to repeat what has already appeared. Personally, I've stopped trying to help such people, having taken on a more than full-time load trying to come up to date on my cancer situation. If they are too important -- or whatever -- to use a valid email address, I'm too important -- or whatever -- to waste my time on them. And being a parrot IS a waste. -R.S.Hoover |

And being a parrot IS a waste. -R.S.Hoover ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, if you want someone's email address, why don't you just ask for it? Being an asshole is very counterproductive. Like many others, the reason I don't "fly" a valid email address is spam, but I have never failed to cheerfully give mine to anyone that asks. As for the bag of information out there on Scat heads, I could give a **** less. You have been clamering around for weeks now, whining about the woes of making your own cylinder head, so I thought I would mention it. If you don't like, I don't care why, I don't need a bedtime story. As for help, I don't really need yours. Everything I have offered you was to assist your efforts, including offers to send you free samples of professional use materials, and help you locate low cost quailty metals. If I wanted to make a cylinder head, I would do so, as I have been doing such things professionally for many, many years. I would also caution not only you, but anyone else interested in your project. You make a LOT of statements and assumptions that are nothing short of dead wrong, and demonstrate the severity of your inexperience with metal casting. You and your followers will discover in the months and years ahead. If someone is considering following the advice of you or your buddy Stealth, I hope they have plenty of time and money to waste on the project, because learning metal casting by trial and error is a very lenghty, costly and most often fruitless endeavor. |

Who said anything about trial and eerror? Resources abound for the budding amateur, and Veebuber is providing a service to this group by exposing many to the FACT that this skill is within the grasp of most aviation homebuilders. I would also caution not only you, but anyone else interested in your project. You make a LOT of statements and assumptions that are nothing short of dead wrong If he is in error in some factual way please take the time to educate us all. Metal casting is like a LOT of things we do/learn. The basics are simple and the learning of same swift. Granted, to perfect ones skill in the art, casting or any other, could well consume a lifetime. We have no need of that level of mastery to safely make usable hobby castings. Being able to make simple castings could be a handy skill for some homebuilt aircraft owners/builders as there are several out of production kits that use aluminum castings that are no longer available. BD-5 and Sadler Vampire being 2 I can think of quickly that use castings in the landing gear. Veeduber has given generously of his time trying to pass on to the VW homebuilding clan the benefit of his years of accumulated wisdom. (I've been around VW's long enough to know a master when I see one. He is one.) So if your expertise lies in the field of casting maybe you'd be willing to share? I know I have more to learn when it comes to hot aluminum ....... and VW's. ======================= Leon McAtee (DEAD e-mail addy, but the resourceful can find the new one) |

Cast the head with the combustion chambers, ports and rocker pan, and machine cooling fins to any level of detail desired. |

Maybe I ‘m in the wrong place, but we are all allowed to dream, aren’t we ? The recent head activity was so intense I decided I found the blog of my life, a living proof of what good men can do together. Fat fin heads – we could even start a blog dedicated to engine bay and cooling system mods for our highway huggers … Maybe I ’ll never fly in front of my vw ( Skylark) but I sure won’t loose any sleep or any money over some golden market heads either. That’s flying Bob Hoover airlines. I can’t welcome you aboard Maxie, but don’t let that stop you ! Please allow me to introduce myself – another time – perhaps. |
