Hi,   I have a used T-Bird II without an engine and would appreciate
some information on something in the 85 to 100 h.p. and trying to keep
the wt down in that 135 to 155 lb class.

Do you have anything in that class and a poor mans discount?  LOL

Thanks,

Don Westergren

   I now have a real weight for a short block of my single rotor
 engine. It
   is 94lb as shown in the pictures. Should be under 150lb when complete
   later this week.

   Nice work Richard. I take it those are new castings.

  Hi  Richard,  Did you make those castings?  they look very well made,
  what is the estimated cost and are they coated alloy? or do they have a
  steel liner for the seals to run on?  If you made them do you intend to
  make the 'tween housing when using more than one rotor?

 Hi John,

 I made the pattern, but the casting was done in a foundry capable of
 casting
 AL 356 T6 . I do have a cast iron liner in the housing.

Hi  Richard,  You obviously know what you are doing when it comes to
making patterns,  is the cast iron liner hardned on the seal surface?
