Well done Bryan!

The engine sounded great in the video you posted!

It sounds like your engine is running very well! Well done on the new heads and the readings you are now seeing. It sounds like your “new” AeroVee is running like a dream now!

Sounds great!

Would love to hear more about your mods if and when my VW buddy gets time to help me with my head replacement.

Somehow I swapped the PPT plugs on the stick assembly. I must have done that when I was removing the right stick to get under the panel for the tailbeacon power.

On the panel lights, if you remember I have a little headlamp I modified as a spotlight. I did some troubleshooting and decided I had power in the back from the dimmer. so I guessed there must be a discontinuity in that headlamp. So I drilled out the rivets, removed it, and rediscovered the on-off switch. That was the discontinuity.

New coils come tomorrow. I painted my fresh air inlet finally.

I've also painted my B model outlets. They are going on soon.
