A highly illustrated step by step process to the selection, modification, inspection, assembly, and operation of Volkswagen engines for use in light aircraft with plenty of practical "hints & tips" from a company that has been in the business of flying VW aero engines for over 30 years.
Among the many items covered are needed tools, inspections and modifications to the engine case, cylinders, crankshafts, bearing, cam shafts and valve trains, oil filtration, pistons and rods, flywheels, carburetion, magnetos and timing, the prop hub, torque specs, octane requirements, maintenance schedules, operational limitations, and more.
The detailed video presentation for the assembly of 1600 - 2300 cc Type 1 Volkswagen engines for use with experimental aircraft. This video corresponds with the steps found in the Great Plains Assembly Manual and demonstrates the proper way to assemble a VW engine. The video includes maintenance requirements, torque values, and timing instructions.
