ive been thinking about doin a conversion and think i have figured every thing out exept one potential project killer. will the an engine designed for glow stand up to the heat of gas? the main question that is probly going to be asked is "what about oiling" well i think i can plumb an engine and using either a gear driven pump (as on a enya 120 gp im playing with) or a tme smoke pump. the engine is normaly just oiled by the blow by from combustion and i think it would get just as much if not more oil by a fairly simple oiling system made by placing a few pressure nipples and one way valves in the proper areas(rocker arms, cam gear, and crank/rod area) and just 1 return line at the bottom of the engine. the system would use a small tank to store the oil. the system would not need to be very complex and a small 1 ounch tank visible thru the cowl would be all you need to monitor fluid levels. since the blow by oil is the only normal oiling system i think the plan ive come up with would provide plenty of oil to the engine. the ignition system is easily obtained and that just leaves the problem or the actual engine componets themselves.....CAN THEY TAKE THE HEAT.

any ideas, experinces, comments appreciated.
