George,

yes I am using studs, but the PP insert is all JB Weld fit. This is

an

easy

way to get the test engine going and not neccesarily the best

solution

for

the flight configuration. Also, if it turns out that my IO, which is

the

same as the LeMans engine had, is too early I will loose the hard

point

for

the upper stud. Future testing will tell.
BTW, I just finished my test TB.

Richard,
You make nice stuff as does Jerry, I wish you wern't so far away OR I

have a

lot more money.
Can you tell me what your IO/IC is ?

George,
The IO is 32MM above C/L, and the port size is 38MM. It idles now at 1000
RPM on the side port and the PP can be cut in anywhere above 2500 RPM. Once
the PP has kicked in, it does not matter what you do with the side port. all
this is happening below 4000RPM and insufficient load on the e-shaft.
I have not set everything in concrete at this time, but it is running pretty
good since yesterday.
