Brian, how does the intake air get to the TB?
I just found these picture I took last Oct. They were in the video camera and I lost
the battery charger cable. I had to buy another one today.

Nice oil pan. How many quarts? How is the oil temp on take off and climb out?

BTW we are not making it up to Seattle this week. Change of plans. We are going to
the Monterey Rolex RX8 race next weekend.

Maybe next week but probably not.

How's drilling out the muffler coming.

I haven't been up to the plane since I landed on the 29th. I'm going up tomorrow- I'm
just getting off a 72 hour shift tomorrow morning, and should have the muffler done
and tested by the end of the day. The air gets to the TB through 3" aluminum tube.
The tube sections are butted up against each other and the joint has Scat tube around
it sealing the joint. The oil pan is 4 quarts, temps are usually around 170-190 on an
80 degree day. The highest temps I have ever seen for coolant and oil have been 208.
I think they'll be cooler when I get the muffler thing sorted out.

Too bad you aren't going to be up in the area this time of year- it's the best time
of year around here.
