• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I have an 0-290 D2 with a 0-320 solid flange crank that I run on my Pitts S1C. Was just wandering what HP or torque increase I would see if I installed an 0-320 or 0-360 cam? Are there any other HP mods for the 0-290. I have heard of machining the case for 0-320 cylinders but looks like you are starting to mess with the integrity of the case then. I also have 10 angel valve 0-435 cylinders sitting on the shelf that needs valves. I have also heard these could be used
