All of that is out there, already available. But the truth is, it's
not needed; not in the immediate sense.

What IS needed are aluminum head-castings having twice as much fin-
area as what's presently available. This won't fit on a bug or bus so
there is no start-up money. Coming up with the cores should have been
done by the EAA -- about fifty years ago. The fact it wasn't is good
evidence that it won't.

That was my recollection as well, although I can no longer find it on the
web.

the entire jabiru engine(s) have always been made totally from cnc
milled barstock.
in the early days the claim was that they could make a batch of 4 at a
profit.
