Re: ej 22
My overall opinion of the EJ22 for aircraft use is that it is very well designed, extremely stiff and strong, uses good metallurgy and should make a fine aircraft engine with minimal changes. The design is several generations ahead of standard air cooled aircraft engines. The liquid cooling, overhead cam, 4 valves per cylinder, 5 main bearing design with high compression ratios is how things should be done, approaching the next century. This engine is composed of many more parts than a conventional inline 4 cylinder automotive engine and certain unique procedures and tools must be employed to service and overhaul it. Being a relatively complex split case, aluminum design, it demands more care and patience than most auto engines do. I would not recommend that inexperienced people start ripping into one of these. If you don't know much about engines, stick with a low mileage, naturally aspirated EJ25. Just leave it together and fly it.
