Shoey.... Your dead spot on, but then I've also had moments where David was equally right. I recently learned these engines are also known as "double beat" and "Drop Valve" engines, which expanded the available knowledge base by several levels of magnitude.

I've spent the past 2 weeks adjusting to a newly diagnosed medical problem....type II Diabetes, so I'm afraid I've been a wee bit distracted. The nice part of the distraction is that I've had a tremendous increase in energy, which I've invested in a few of the more labor intensive projects that I've previously had to ignore. My old 1978 CJ5 Jeep is shining like a new dime and it's running again. All I've got to do now is get it to the local mechanic for some drive train work.

I hope to jump right back on the engines now that I've had a short discussion with someone who has built a similar project. He quickly helped me wrap my head around a couple of things I was struggling to sort out. 10 minutes of conversation probably saved me a weeks worth of trial and error. More to come... just be patient with me for a few more days....(grin)

Sorry to hear about the diagnoses Steve. Make sure you keep an eye on it.

Take your time. Get to the build when you can. We will all be here.
