REVMASTER vs. GREAT PLAINS V.W.
In article ,
says...
I Am Looking For Opinions Based On Personal Experiences Related To
Revmaster And Great Plains V.w. Convertions From Reliability Point Of
View.
I Know That The Limbach Is The Best, But Due To The Fact That It Is A
Certified Engine His Price Is To High (for Me).
Any Help On This Matter Will Be Very Welcome.
Regards
If the late Bob Hoover were with us still, he would be the first to tell you
that any of the VW engines are only good for about 40 HP continuous. If you
push the amount of power that someone else says it will make, the valves
will cook, and you have a paperweight.
On the other hand, if you are happy with 40 HP, then it could be the engine
for you.
Most likely Bob is forging a super-VW ! It's either that or bullits...
God be warned!
