[Vwdiesel] Aircooled and Diesel --- ( was you talking VW only ? )

[H.Hagar]

Just thought I'd raise a little trouble.  Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers.  

Andrew make up your mind..

It was a good thread you started there ----- anything that smokes out the
opinions is great. Right or wrong ? so what  ?      I seem to learn a lot from
information that I think is wrong .  That provokes me into a bit of reading  and
writing.

Dr. Porche . did design a very efficient engine.(no not fuel) all around.
Kilowatt years pr gallon efficiency goes to the VW diesel so far. Only small
engines are considered. That is for fuel only.

The reason I say the airhead is best ----is based on all cost pr kW year   maybe
megawatts ? year.

5 minutes to change an engine on a BEETLE  ?_  Try that on a Rabbit. ----   Does anyone know
if that was a verified record ???.

Take a good look at  a VW airhead and compare to Continental 65  Lycoming
65   and that line of engines .   Sure is a cost effective design.      I bumped in
to a few  Lycoming 0 320 jobs -----impressive.     

A scored cylinder ?   no problem in an airhead ---   but a Rabbit ?.

I got a brand new still in the crate 1600 VW from Germany many years ago.
Sits in a teststand ready to start below my feet. Will trade for a Rotax.503.

I learned a bit of CYA  from Gary Orlando     IMHO        IMHO          imho    
even sounds cute.
