Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Press. oiled AI assume you guys are going to turn up the heat in your A powered ships. The pressured oil supply is not needed if turning Pietenpols recommended RPM. But I understand that it is nice to have. The engine is able to produce more power than designed for. Better breathing is what I have understood to help the most, increase the intake CFMS. The insert bearings I have seen available use a center thrust, is this the norm? If so it would not seem to be a good idea, since the thrust loads need to stay were they are for aircraft use. P.S. I have an A engine with most machine work done, and new bearings for $550.00 anyone interested email me at zigodan(at)aol.com.Dan ________________________________________________________________________________
