RE: Overloading an engine
As to the latest post, Greg, the numbers just don't coincide with Juice's observations and RPM readings...
Also, would that RPM represent actual crankshaft RPM, or prop RPM???
This engine is not supposed to run at these prop RPM numbers, although its rotary valve actually does not have the RPM limitations of spring-loaded poppet valves.
As to absolute HP; I believe the generic prop factor Pé supplied in his PropPower, may be too low, for the wide-blade 'Hamilton Standard' look-alike prop Juice is using and I already remarked in regards to this in post #31.
But as to the torque, as portrayed by Juices numbers, I can only call them as I see them...
I don't know if the engines actually differ, but they do show different numbers.
Juice, 'Need more input'...
