Anyone ever seen one , or INSIDE ONE ? alledgedly a 1 mm overbore 46 with V 51 Liner . perhaps .

Some of the G 15 / 19s have the 15 eradicated in the like manner , and lug stamped 19 . Some they try to knock the bypass in , stamping the 19 there . Did the apprenice do the machineing
on this one .  >:(


Would be intrested in anything about these . Mr Rabes 51 / 46s were stroked , ground offset smaller crankpin , acoding to the photos . This appears to be a FACTORY Job & larger bore .

and some lucky ? mug got it for $ 66 off Ebay . Not I , sadley .   H^^

Matt,

     It's for real.  We had one like it five or six years ago knocking around our field.  With custom venturi
it still didn't work all that well as a stunt engine, and it was eventually passed on to one of the novice members
of the club.  On the other hand, it is a really neat looking engine.

humph , thought Id solved it , as figured they were BOTH lite case 60 based cases with the No machined OFF , & stamped ' 51 ' but that there RV has ' 21 ' cast in , so its definately the 21 / 29-35=40=46 CASE !  :P
