• 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'm starting think about overhauling the motor in my Pitts. It's still running well, I'm just getting tired of the oil leaks. HIO-360-C1A, 205 hp @ 2900 rpm.

I'm thinking about changing to a stock 200hp cam, and maybe higher compression pistons. I'm not too sure how compatible those changes would be with the higher rpm.

Any thoughts or ideas are welcome.
