VP engine exhaust Gaskets Rotorway helicopter

The photos below show the head and water jacket surfaces of an engine with only 190 hours of flight time. This engine was sent to Vertical Performance Systems, LLC for complete overhaul and conversion to the new Vertical Performance Systems, LLC power plant. In the photos you can see the ring that is supposed to seal the cylinder sleeve to the head and also where the seal failed.

The owner of this engine was flying when the engine began to overheat and loose power. He made a successful low-power landing and then removed the engine for conversion. This engine will be one of several Beta test engines that Vertical Performance Systems, LLC will be flying to prove the performance and integrity of our new powerplant for the experimental helicopter and airplane market.Vertical Performance Systems, LLC is planning on having our engine conversions available to the public beginning in the summerof 2010 following our intensive flight test program completion. We will be testing our 150hp normally aspirated engine as well as our 237hp tubocharged engine. We will continue to post updates on this web site as we feel we are ready to share them.

Due to the unfortunate lack of integrity of a few in this industry who have already stolen some of our technology, Vertical Performance Systems, LLC will be very guarded in releasing the specifics of our engine work until it is ready to market. We look forward to providing the kit helicopter industry with engine and drive train alternatives that will enhance their flying experience.

Gaskets
Vertical Performance Systems, LLC has manufactured exhaust gaskets for your Rotorway engine that are made with steel upper and lower surfaces encasing the flexible gasket liner. This ensures that the gasket will not disintegrate if the exhaust manifold bolts get loose, a common problem. These gaskets are in stock and available for immediate shipment.


Head Gaskets
The new Vertical Performance Systems, LLC engine uses custom head gaskets between the heads and water jackets. The stock configuration uses steel rings alone to seal the combustion chamber to the flat head surface allowing bow-by. The new Vertical Performance Systems, LLC head gasket is pictured below.
