[QUOTE="riptragle1953, post: 37794, member: 2328"] Ya got me all wrong Greg..... I wash't bagging the engine at all. I only said it leaked.... this I head from men who flew them. I love that engine! We sent over to England our new P-51 with our Allison engine in it. The British flyers we not impressed UNTIL some clever chaps installed the Merlin and the plane became the #1 killer on the Allied side. The German Me-109 had the top kill rate of the war..... but hell, they were shooting down sitting ducks..... unescorted B-17s and 24s in daylight bombing runs over the Fatherland ( the most dangerous job of the war). I have a Spitfire and a P-51b Mustang sitting right here...... this was the model the British trandformed by installing the Merlin. [/QUOTE]
