I know a guy that built a homebuilt airplane that had a 100 HP Continental aircraft engine installed. The four exhaust pipes were short, probably 4" or so. He got in trouble once and rolled the plane upside down. He jerked the throttle back and time he got it upright his valves were warped. I'm guessing the exhaust valves.
Same guy was flying some type of plane that was placarded DO NOT SPIN. He did it anyway and wound up in a flat spin the aircraft would not recover from. He was at 5000' and the vertical speed indicator was reading 2000' per minute. About two minutes to hit the ground. Broke his back. I guess he's still around as I havent heard anything different.
Maybe where some stories of warped valves come from. David...............
