[AT] Juicin it Up

[Gene Dotson]

    Actually, the coolant used is hydraulic oil. Higher
temperatures are possible and any leaks are burned through the
engine without any concerns.
    The bore and stroke sounds about right. The center webs were
completely removed and the sleeves were siamesed so they all
come out as one assembly. The heads are propane heads and
estimated compression ratio is about 12.5 to one. Racing
gasoline or 100 octane aviation fuel is required.

do-it-yourself project

: At a very conservative .3hp/ci that combination would make
150hp.  I'd

: closer to 200, if not a bit over.  Are they running water in
the blocks
: or
: just in the heads?
