16 HP would probably be about maximum. So far I have no evidence that this >engine has flown anything out of ground effect.
Engine only has splash lubrication to rods and the aluminium rods are their own
bearings.

The engines are rated in a strange way to what everyone is used to.
The ratingr is the power at elevated temps and altitudes. The 32 gets
rated at 107° and 7,000. The 6 hp is also not the max rating either.
The best you could reliably get out of it is going to be 18-20hp.
It has a full pressure oil system. Pump filter and all. There is a
group on yahoo that deals with just these engines for aviation use. surplusengines I think is the name of the group.

I was surfing the web and I noticed that the October issue of Ultralight mag runs a story on this military surplus engine. It also says that the engine is a 20 HP engine but all of the research I could find on it shows it as a 6 HP engine. Can anyone shed some light on this?
