Years ago, when I started working to develop and engine and PSRU for an airplane, I chose the Chevrolet because it was lightweight, easy to get, anyone could work on it and it was not difficult to accessorize or keep an exhaust system on. Parts were plentiful, engine RPM ranges for best HP and torque made sense. I could run the engines in a low RPM, get lots of HP and torque, and amplify that torque to my prop without excessive engine heat to have to deal with. Lower RPM means less heat, longer engine life, lower fuel burn, and it all made sense to me Contrast my philosophy with some of the facts that we already know about the typical Mazda engine for aircraft use. They run extremely hot, have oil temperature problems galore, and they certainly are not light weight. The excessive temperature puts their exhaust systems are under such pressure that they don’t hold up well. I also do not like that they run at high RPM all of the t
