Rectimo AR1200

[Adrian Hatton]

Can anyone point me to where I can obtain a suitable service manual for
this engine please.

Also any relevant information regarding upgrading from 1200 to 1385cc would
be of interest.
I understand Mahle barel/pistons kits are available that simply fit onto the
existing block and heads.
Pros - Cons?

Cheers

To clarify

My understanding is that the Rectimo AR1200 engine is essentially a Type1 vw
engine modified to single magneto ignition.
more info on VW engines modified for aviation applications can be found
