Does the BIG grin imply that you do not believe this?
Matters not. We've been at our impasse far too long.
I no longer care what you think or do.

Plonk.

BOb Urban, I_am_hurt! You mean after years of gratuitous insults and
nearly automatic acerbic comments to me, you leave the field?

And here I thought your lack of personal attacks against me lately
were a sign that at last I was gaining your respect because so many
auto coversions had been successful lately.

I guess not.

PS, you mean you think that certified aircraft engines AREN'T
anachronistic, overpriced and tempermental? Lordy, I thought that was
something everyone could agree on.


I talked with the man behind the V8 SeaBee last saterday.
Over 1000 trouble free hours on the LT1 in his own plane.
Several hundred on the doc's LT6.

The LT1 has had the drive apart several times checking for wear - none
found. Engine has not changed compression, oil pressure, oil temp, or
oil consumption since first 20 hour of break-in.

And that "trouble free" IS trouble free. No changes required.
The LT6 has needed some changes in code for theO2 sensors from what I
remember. (2 sensor vs 4 sensor vs no sensor)
