<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Boy you got dat right Bob! For the price
of the AAR cylinder, piston and ring I could almost buy a complete OS 160!

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After learning the disturbing news of the cost of
replacement parts I just rebuilt the engine using the parts I have on hand. I
ran it on the bench today and it's running great, no need for buying the
replacement parts. Sure, I'm an ounce heavier, but that would be one VERY
EXPENSIVE ounce! I'll just make this my backup engine.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Webra 145/160, are parts
interchangable?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an older Bully/Webra that has the steel
sleeve and about 175 flights on it. To save weight and give the engine a
"tune-up" I was considering purchasing one of the AAR cylinder liners and a
new ring. I went to the Horizon web site and found that the AAR cylinder
liner alone for the 145 is $153, and the cylinder/piston/ring assembly is
$216. However, for the Webra 160 the AAR cylinder/piston/ring assembly is
only $146, that's less than just the cylinder for the Webra
145.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So my questions are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Is it possible to simply swap out just the
cylinder/piston/ring assembly in the 145 with the ones from the 160, or is
it necessary to also swap out other components such as the connecting rod
and the crank?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. If this swap is possible, and I essentially
upgrade to the 160, will it run as well as the 145 did without the MC
carb?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks,</FONT></DIV>
