' As I said, "Anybody out there using auto fuel in a Warner, particularly a 165, or can put me in contact with someone who does, or has?  If so, I'd like to hear from you."  If you aren't using auto fuel in your Warner, or can't put me onto someone who does or has, no need to respond, than...

' So Cy -- Maybe lubrication is not the right word.  So whatever the terminology, then, using less lead is better, right?  Wonder why we still have TEL in avgas -- probably not solely for octane rating improvement, as it is clear desired octane levels are being achieved without it in gasolines formu...

' Anybody out there using auto fuel in a Warner, particularly a 165, or can put me in contact with someone who does, or has?  If so, I'd like to hear from you.  Petersen STC's are available for my 24W and Warner 165 combination.  I am contemplating using a mixture of 75% non-oxygenated (zero alcohol...

' Same experience as I had, with Links, etc..  I spent a bunch of time talking to a Yahoo “help” person, to no avail.  He didn’t seem to know how Yahoo actually works, and kept insisting the problem was with my internet services provider (Comcast).  For the life of me, I can’t see how that could be....

' Mike  --  I need the annual inspection checklists for a 1940 24W also.  I can't seem to get into the Files for this Yahoo Group, where I suspect those checklists reside.  Is there a way you can e-mail files to me at lowea1@comcast.net.  Thanks in advance.  Best Regards, Tony Lowe, N28522. --- In f...

'The 500 cubic inch Warner 165 is 37.3 inches in diameter, and 30.5 in. long, and weighs 333 lb dry, according to my manual. The Ivchenko AI-14 and its license-built Chinese cousin, the Housai HS6, are 38.7 in. dia. and 36.4in. long, and weigh 441 lb dry. They make 220 hp normally and 260 hp TO max....

'Yeah.... Me too, all of a sudden. I'm all ears.....'

'What rate of oil consumption should I expect with my Warner 165. How much is normal, and how much is too much (upper limit). I do have a Warner Super Scarab handbook that gives the simple figure of .025 lb/ hp-hr, and that seems like a lot -- about 4.125 pounds per hour at rated power, which is abo...
