HI Guys,



I’ve just gotten into the 3^rd Volume of Alternative Engines and it’s 

really great read. 56 articles and project studies have a lot of 

conversion information on specific automotive, turbine, diesel and turbo 

engines, including Subaru. Each includes a complete descriptive of the 

electronic ignition, fuel systems, cooling, mechanicals, installation 

variations and performance. Special articles on radiators installation 

and sizing, evaluating engine performance, re-drives, planetary, geared 

and belted are described for large and small engines. Considerably 

strong outlines on the EA81 and the EJ22 Subaru are provided to also 

compare them with air-cooled TC engines. Both are described as used with 

belted or direct drive props for 100 to 130 hp.



The 3^rd Volume's illustrations drawings and photos are 1000-word 

quality, well worth the price for someone considering an alternative 

engine. The automotive- conversion can save you a whole lot on initial 

purchase, fuel and general maintenance.



For those who would ask, it’s $42.00, ordered thru 

www.ContactMagazine.com <http://www.contactmagazine.com/> or by phone at 

1-559-584-3306.



Fly Safe,

Larry, how has your cooling performed in the hot weather?

Hi Terry,

My cooling system is works very well in high temps. I've flown 

consistently in 95-degrees temps,

but block temps stay near 210, oil is 220, and coolant ranges between 

187 and 198. EGTs are 1375 cruise,

and climb to 1450 full out. I have #2.78 needle jets and #178 main jets 

in my Bing Carburetors. (Winter jets were

2.76 and 176 respectively). Climbing and running to at least 3500 feet 

makes the Bings work best in hot weather.

I often have to taxi and idle for long times at our airport and have no 

overheat issues. Last year, I did forget to change to

summer jets and had cancel a trip to Zenith's open house because of high 

oil temps. So, this past winter, I left the

"summer jets" in and found it didn't make much of a difference in cold 

weather.
