Pictures of my 1835 cc, flywheel drive VW engine project. Haven't worked on it for several months. Was hoping to get the prop extension turned this winter and the brackets made for the mag mount on the pulley end. All the Bob Hoover HVX mods are done. Stock 69mm, German forged STD crank, all rods within 1 gram & each end weighs the same. Case bell housing trimmed to save weight. Case machined for the 92mm pistons and cylinders and welded behind #3 cylinder. Single port heads drilled for dual spark plugs. Need to install new valve guides and valves, springs, etc in the heads yet.
Don't know what airframe it will go into yet. Been busy finishing the JMR and building a VW mud buggy. Also building a 1200 cc, 40 HP for a good mileage engine for the buggy. Bottom end of the 40 hp engine is together.
