Does anyone have experience with the half VW engine? I have been considering building a Hummelbird which uses the half VW engine and I was hoping to hear some comments on their reliability and ease of building. From what I understand you need to actually saw the block in half and weld some counterbalances to the crank shaft. Any comments?? I've heard they have a good record, and I really really love that little hummelbird. Thanks in advance.
