I do remember that he had to tear down and rebuild virtually everything after buying it fully assembled. He and his build buddy (forget the name) found a host of machining and poor part issues.
MHA-could you not take some timing out, say 2 to 4 degrees to get it to run on 100 octane? I wish I knew the chamber size and piston dome that caused 13:1. The fuel Cammer engines ran no where near that compression. Maybe a few of the 'Cup-destined engines did?? 
Can one of you contact Malone? If you tell him we're trying to help him sell it, I hope he'd chime in and give us more details on this excellent project. |
93-page build thread, but somewhere buried in there the CR is 11:1. |
