Hi Malcolm, You say that the oil was black.....after 7 hrs that would suggest overheating of the oil. Does it smell burnt? Do you have oil temp? If so what was it before seizure? Did the engine seize in flight or on the ground? What was the oil temp' before seizure? What was the oil pressure before ...

Bungee mod' approval # is 13004.

Rather a poor installation if you need to remove the engine for access. Presumably they have fitted the Leburg units in the box that used to house the magnetos? If so you may be able to remove the fuel tank to access the end of the box which may be removable....or access from the side via the panels...

Hi Malcolm, The fact that the failure has been progressive would suggest that the fault is not down to a supply/earth problem. Can you remove the Leburg Module easily? If so I recommend you remove it, remove the cover and check that the i/c (integrated circuit) has not come out of its holder, or tha...

I am having a clear out and reconciling my needs........I have an 1834cc engine for sale. All parts at new tolerance, it's an engine that I checked over for excessive oil pressure some time ago. I stripped the engine completely, checked and measure all clearances, rebuilt and run on a test bed. It h...

If anyone wants some good "new, old stock" Nieman rings I have a set for sale.

Neil

Best wishes,

Hi Ross,
Welcome to the Nipper world, and I hope you are making good progress with your restoration......how is it going?
For that ferry flight you are going to need some serious ferry tanks!

Hi Paul, What isn't evident from the pictures is that the aux tank is not flat bottomed, but is deeper at the front, the photo of the tank was before the plumbing was complete, but you can see two bosses at the front/bottom of the tank (the deeper part) where there was a drain for the aux' tank. The...

Hi Guys, Paul you have done the groundwork and have come up with a workable solution......good job, but may I air some thoughts I have: 1-The thought of running a tank dry due to inattention with a VW engine and risking an engine stoppage chills me. 2-In the ethos of KISS: Remove the tip tank float ...
