75 hp engine

[Laz]

I am having my A65 overhauled. My AI and Mr. Calyton ( ALaska Sklylight guy) tell me that I can change a few things, Piston, Rod Pins Cab jet etc and get it up to 75 HP. I also need info on the mods to make the structure able to accept a 85 hp. Any comments or help wold be appreciated

You also need to change the exhaust valves as well if they are not already stellite.

Re: 75 hp engine

There is a lot of info in the archives on this subject. The engine upgrade is easy, just don't forget to re-pitch the propeller to allow the additional RPM needed to generate 75 ponies. Be sure the IA can get a 337 done before you do anything...there is no 75hp engine on the TCDS
