Default R975 Teardown

Malcolm- for whatever little bits its worth- those splayed out cylinder bottoms may be a pain to disassemble but maybe they will have saved the thin cast aluminium that makes up the crankcase. Later engines (eg the -46 helicopter) has much heavier castings in it. It also rated at 600 hp with much more blower and carb action. I cannot tell you about the fins, I always thought they were machined in but I don't know..Bob
