Got word today that Bob Hoover has passed away. He was legendary in
the VW KISS end of things, was well known VW aircraft conversion
circles and his writings are well respected. I'd bet most of us have a part named after him in our engines called the Hoover Bit. I learned about it recently when I pulled my engine to replace the oil cooler seals. Turns out my Hoover bit was broken, but I found the missing part in the cooling tin and just welded it back together.
