Default Limited HP for 320LT

If you want more hp just go with 320 or 340. These both can range from 150 to over 185 but the lightest versions we have built are around 240lbs. The idea here is to build an engine that is very reliable and cast effective as close to 200lbs as we can. 145hp is much more that the 233 and is designed for this market.

Default Roller tappets on Titan Engines

Only one issue.
When is Titan going to offer roller tappets?
Yes, I know about the special coating but still prefer the rollers.
We can offer now in our cases but price and need have not moved this forward. No performance upside, more parts, and higher cost.....

I would love to get ya'lls input on why you would want rollers and how much more would you be willing to pay for the option?

I say put A9 Motoreco PL treatment in your engine and you'll never have to deal with corrosion. We will treat all R Series engines with this...

I have used in all my aircraft, race engines, and personal vehicles for years. I am sold!

Default Thanks Kevin, and Titan.

I stopped by the Titan tent at OSH, was looking for magneto gaskets, as I had a leak from one of mine.

Kevin offered to remove a mag and give me the gaskets from his display engine, as he did not have any spares available.

Not only do the engines look great, but this kind of service offer to a total stranger says a lot about the way they run the business.

Thanks, and best of luck with the new engines and accessories you are offering.
