Title: 40VF P&L sets
Post by: steven yampolsky on September 20, 2009, 05:48:29 AM

Am I the only one wishing they could get their hands on a 40VF P&L set?  HB~>

My trusty old 40VF has been giving up the ghost throughout this season to the point where I cannot get two flights in a row without it going nuts on me.

Steve, check ebay, they always have a bunch of junks on there, but sme stuff is worth it.  Just be careful what you would get as some stuff is junk.

That 40VF was working for me when I flew it for 6 flights at Lee, maybe it likes me <=

Curious question....Would a .46 VF P&L fit the crankcase?   ???  Often these swaps do work.
I know, larger lines etc., but it might save your engine! And the .46 has way more grunt!

Ask the "Smith Man".

No  the VF 46 piston sleeve set will not work in a 40VF, The head and crankshaft is also differant
