H & I Engineering's VW reduction drive unit.

H & I - a very new way to use some older engine designs and parts!cit1.gif (79612 bytes)
Last year at Oshkosh I had the opportunity to interview a group called H & I which were bringing in the 2 cylinder 602 Hemispherical Citroen car engine from Europe. This engine while not in production anymore is available in large quantities in Europe. According to sources the engine has been produced, relatively unchanged for the past 40 years.
So what you say - I am not going to fly on a 40 year old engine! You don't have to the factory in Europe brings these engines back into the plant and completely rebuilds them. They are then shipped off to H & I who install an electronic ignition system, an integral dampened flywheel assembly, electric start, alternator, carbs, exhaust manifold , exhaust stubs and hard points for mounting the engine. The engine is available with either a belt drive system or with the 2si reduction drive unit.


Well this year the company again had these engines on display but also had a something totally different - a case with a housing with a reduction drive that allows you to use a Volkswagen crankshaft (1/2), connecting rods, pistons, heads etc.
Thus you have a neat little Volkswagen engine package with a redrive, something that has not been readily available. While the display unit was not completed yet, information supplied by the company was that the project should be completed by Oshkosh.
