Well, that just isn't cricket. :-)

With that RR decal, this guy didn't even need to prop open his cowling to
draw a crowd.

What [Rolls-Royce] decal?

Why, the one in the first photo!

I remember seeing an A-65 (IIRC) on a small homebuilt biplane with
those valve covers. When I asked the pilot, he said it was really a
Continental, but he picked up the valve covers somewhere and put 'em
just to freak people out.

America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system,
but too early to shoot the *******s.

A friend has done the same with his Cessna 170 engine.

pardon my ignorance...
Is a rolls-royce O-200 the same as a continental O-200?
I mean specifically same overhaul times, same parts, same maintence,
etc?

I'm interested in a homebuilt with one but don't want to get into some
orphan engine.

No, they are totally different, and you would have to make every single
part, from scratch.

I would advise you go ahead with buying the homebuilt, then _immediately_
switch engines, and ship the RR engine to me, for safe disposal. I promise
you will sleep better, with that off of you mind! bfg

Anything else I can help you with, please feel free to write! g

Well, I can't let you assume the risk. It would be wrong of me to not
insist on such a challenge. Therefore I will accept the engine so as to
protect you from yourself.

Don't forget to carry your Whitworth wrenches in the plane with you, your
A&P is unlikely to have a set.
