Pietenpol-List: Jeep engine
Original Posted By: Michael Perez
Hello again... I have some information that I have developed recently... I wasattempting to match the Jeep 134 L head Go Devil engine, Of WW2 fame to use inthe place of a Model A on my pietenpol project. I progressed to the point ofinstalling a Slick mag and new intake and exhaust as well as installing atachometer drive mount. After testing with a Tillotson Model A Carb which itonly managed 1600 rpm, I tried it with a larger Bendix carb and got it up to1800. This is with a 72 inch Seninich prop from a Champ.... I had hoped forat least 2000 rpm. I have decided that the jeep engine is probably too smallfor the task, And I have moved on to other options. If anyone would liketo continue this test or have any questions please give me a call at 870-926-7165.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/engi ... ______Date: Tue, 2 Sep 2014 11:06:31 -0700

Ken,Don't throw in the towel just yet! A few more easy tests might reveal some betterresults....1) Borrow a manifold pressure gage from someone or buy a cheap one. tap it intoyour intake and re-run the engine at wide open throttle and note the reading.If it is not within 1" of ambient pressure, you need a bigger carb.2) How far advanced did you try the timing? 3) A champ prop is a good prop for a 65hp engine with a 2375 redline, but I suspectthat you are leaving a lot of ponies in the barn by shooting for too lowan rpm. All of my loaner Corvair props have the same SAE 1 bolt pattern, but theyhave opposite rotation blades. If need be, I could scrounge up some in yourrotation. I suspect that a 66" two blade prop set for 2,500 static rpm wouldprovide a very different hp and thrust picture for your engine. As an enginewith a pressurized oil system and insert bearings it will not be harmed by thisrpm. I am guessing 1800 isn't even the torque peak for the engine. The rightprop to allow your engine to speed up some is in order.4) My friend Bob Lester, who switched from a 65 Lycoming to a Corvair on his Pietmay still have the original prop, and they have somewhat less pitch and areathan a Continental prop, as they were certified at a higher rpm, I will findout if you can perhaps test this, if we can't put option #3 together.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Jeep engine
