It opened for me in Windows Media.  When I clicked the link a small window opened at the bottom, clicked that and Media Player opened and played short video.

Yes need to take engine out again, due to a valvecover that I prepped with malleable aluminium which, against what is stated, cannot withstand heat.... BUMMER!

Days like those make you disappointed you don’t have a frame kit I’m guessing.😏

Cut it and have 754 (Frank) get one in the mail. Helluva lot easier than pulling an engine.

I've got one kit left from the last batch; probably 3-4 weeks before I'll have more done.

Use the An-8, but have used the 10 top. Both work fine.

Due to time pressure not been able to fully concentrate on when or if it drops, but it is looking good. Gas cap on tail is is oil fill cap.
