Ok, Dave
Here goes
Engine has 150 hours on it since I rebuilt and ported it
I usually cruise around 5200 rpm (2.17 gear box) or 5600 rpm (2.85 gearbox)
this generally gives me a TAS of 170 MPH at 7.5 GPH
I get 6000 rpm static and have hit as high as 6800 rpm in flight (2.85). I
estimate the engine power at around 180 HP based on fuel burn and aircraft
performance. I compare my Rv-6A to the performance of a 180 HP Rv-6A also
with a fixed pitch prop, I easy surpass his ROC and appear to be a couple of
miles per hour faster.
Premix 1 oz per gallon of fuel.
Didn't measure the parts as they were new when installed.
Don't know what you want measured - give me some suggestions. There are over
a dozen different measurements that could be taken but without the starting
reference point they won't mean very much.
Best Regards
Ed
