New Mofoco heads arrived. Cooling fin placement and fin size biggest change to the EMPI. Existing problems with my Aerovee showed scratching on one cylinder, 2 broken rings, #3 piston head sunk 1/8 of an inch. The first time my engine has run so clean indicating good mixture control with no indication of overheating and detonation. Usually rich and sooty. My local VW dealer supplied a matched set of barrels, pistons, rings, gudgeons for 400USD. So, all new above the short case. Will rebuild the engine exactly to Aerovee instructions, no letting 'experts', work on the engine without me there. I will keep you informed as to progress. Looking at next weekend for a first ground run. Regards and safe flying.
